BACKGROUND: Second-generation cryoballoon ablation is safe and effective in patients with paroxysmal (PAF) and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF).
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the long-term clinical outcomes and freedom from AF in patients undergoing thermal-guided cryoablation without the use of an electrical mapping catheter.
METHODS: All patients who had undergone thermal-guided second-generation cryoablation without electrical mapping between January 2015 and April 2018 at Eastbourne District General Hospital were retrospectively analysed. Success was defined as freedom from atrial arrhythmia lasting >30 s during the follow up period.
RESULTS: The study included 234 patients with a mean age of 65.3 ± 10.6 years. There were 134 (57.0%) and 100 (42.7%) patients who had PAF and persistent AF respectively. Arrhythmia recurrence occurred in 38 of 134 (28.4%) PAF and 42 of 100 (42.0%) persistent AF patients after mean follow up of 40 ± 9.2 months. The patients with PAF had a significantly greater freedom from arrhythmia than patients with persistent AF (p = .040). The mean procedure time was 55.5 ± 12.2 min and the mean fluoroscopy time was 10.9 ± 4.8 min 73.5% of patients were discharged on the same day.
CONCLUSION: Thermal-guided cryoablation is feasible, safe and results in freedom from arrhythmia in the majority of paroxysmal and persistent AF patients in the long term. Randomised controlled trials are required to confirm the findings of this study.
