CT angiography-derived three-dimensional pulmonary vein topography is related to the outcome after cryoballoon ablation
Patient selection using CTA prior to cryoballoon ablation might influence the procedural success of cryoballoon PVI. While PV anatomy in regard to vein size and shape was not associated with procedural outcome, septum, orifice, and intra-atrial angulation were related to procedural success.
