Could successful cryoballoon ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation prevent progressive left atrial remodeling?

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been proved to be effective and to prevent progressive left atrial (LA) remodeling. Cryoballoon catheter ablation (CCA), using a different energy source, was developed to simplify the ablation proce...
