Distance between the descending aorta and the left inferior pulmonary vein as a determinant of biophysical parameters during paroxysmal atrial fibrillation cryoablation.

Our findings indicated that the DA seems to have a "radiator" effect influencing LIPV cryoablation parameters during CB-ablation. Additional studies will be needed to elucidate whether this biophysical influence has a clinical impact in LIPVs reconnections.
