BACKGROUND: The achievement of -40°C within the first 60 seconds during cryoenergy applications has proven to independently predict durable pulmonary vein (PV) isolation in the setting of second-generation cryoballoon (CB-A; Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN) ablation.
OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate a strategy based on the attainment of the specific parameter of -40°C within the first 60 seconds during cryoenergy applications in the setting of CB-A ablation without the use of an inner lumen mapping catheter (Achieve, Medtronic) for the visualization of real-time recordings.
METHODS: A total of 52 patients having undergone CB ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) between 1 February 2015 and 30 June 2015 who underwent a temperature-guided approach based on achieving -40°C within 60 seconds without real-time recordings (wire group) were compared with a cohort of 52 propensity score-matched patients having undergone CB ablation performed with an inner lumen mapping catheter (Achieve group). All PVs were checked for electrical isolation at the end of the procedure with a circular mapping catheter in the wire group.
RESULTS: Electrical isolation could be obtained in all patients in the Achieve group and in 99% of PVs in the wire group. Freedom from AF without antiarrhythmic drugs at a mean follow-up of 12.4 ± 3.0 months did not significantly differ between both groups (85% vs 88%, respectively; P = .56).
CONCLUSION: A temperature-guided approach based on achieving -40°C within 60 seconds is effective in producing PV isolation and affords freedom from AF at 12-month follow-up in 85% of patients affected by paroxysmal AF after a 3-month blanking period.
