Eccentric scar formation around a pulmonary vein after cryo-balloon ablation in a patient with atrial fibrillation: A case report

The impact of a cryoballoon ablation is reported to be similar to that of a radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) could visualize the scar region induced by the cryoballoon ablation as well as RF ablation. Cryoballo...
