Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using 2nd-generation cryoballoon in congenital heart disease patients - significance of RF ablation of additional atrial macro-reentrant tachycardia.

Results after PVI using the cryoballoon plus additional RF ablation of AT were promising (84% success including one redo procedure). Success of AF ablation was unsatisfactory in all patients who had no additional AT ablation. Ablation of any AT in these patients should therefore be considered in addition to PVI.
