Cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the presence of an Amplatzer Septal Occluder device

Cryoballoon ablation of the pulmonary veins (CAPV) has been demonstrated to be non-inferior to radiofrequency (RF) ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib). As CAPV requires a larger transseptal sheath than RF ablation, it can be challenging in the presence of an Amplatzer™ Septal Occluder...
