Abstract Background Cryoballoon ablation is an established procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF). Patients who had previous pulmonary surgery undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) were seldom reported. Case presentation We describe an AF ablation using the novel short-tip third-generation cryoballoon in a patient with resected pulmonary vein. All pulmonary veins were successfully isolated without complication. The short-tip third-generation cryoballoon shows advantageous profile in PVI for AF patients with previous pulmonary surgery. Conclusions This report indicates that for AF patient who had previous resected PV surgery, the short-tip CB 3 provides an ideal device option for real-time PVI. |
