Assessing the value of routine preprocedural CT angiography in cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation: a prospective, propensity score–matched study

Routine preprocedural CTA did not significantly impact procedural efficiency or clinical outcomes in cryoballoon PVI. However, the high prevalence of previously undiagnosed CAD underscores the potential value of coronary assessment in this population.

Routine preprocedural CTA did not significantly impact procedural efficiency or clinical outcomes in cryoballoon PVI. However, the high prevalence of previously undiagnosed CAD underscores the potential value of coronary assessment in this population.
