Study Summary

Cryoballoon ablation has emerged as a safe and effective strategy for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) for which it has recently received a 'first-line' therapy indication by the FDA. Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) has been the cornerstone of this procedure achieving freedom from recurrent AF in up to \~80% of patients at 12 months of follow-up. However, the success has been shown to be significantly lower, in the range of 50-60% at 3-5 years of follow-up. Other more recent cryoballoon ablation studies have demonstrated marked improvements in clinical outcomes associated with concomitant PVI and cryoballoon ablation/isolation of the 'PV component' (a region of the left atrial posterior \[back\] wall lying between the PVs that is anatomically and embryologically related to the PVs), versus PVI alone in patients with persistent AF. PVI+PWI using cryoballoon ablation has been widely-practiced in patients with paroxysmal AF. However, the acute/long-term safety and efficacy of this approach has not been formally investigated in paroxysmal AF. Given the mechanistic similarities between persistent and paroxysmal AF, the investigators hypothesize that similar benefits associated with PVI+PWI may also be observed in those with paroxysmal AF. Yet, due to the relative infrequency of breakthrough/recurrent arrhythmias in patients with PAF, to detect a significant difference, large sample sizes and extended follow-up (\>24 months) are likely needed. Hence, the aim of this retrospective, observational study is to examine the acute and long-term efficacy and safety beyond 36 months of follow-up associated with PVI alone versus PVI+PWI using cryoballoon ablation in a large cohort of patients with PAF, performed by a single operator between 1/1/2014 and 8/31/2018 at Mercy General Hospital.

Primary Outcome

The recurrence of atrial fibrillation following PVI+PWI versus PVI alone using cryoballoon ablation in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation during long-term follow-up greater than 3 years.
