The first use of cryoablation in the treatment of arrhythmia has already been described over 40 years ago [1]. Since the introduction of cryoballoon in pulmonary veins isolation in atrial fibrillation treatment, the method has started to attract a lot of interest. Over 350,000 procedures around the word were carried out only by 2018 [2]. Recently, there have been several new publications on the results of second-generation cryoballoon ablation [2, 3, 4]. In view of technology changes, and to summarize years of experience in the treatment of atrial fibrillation, the first Cryousers conference was organized, and held in 2018 in Poland. During this meeting a survey was conducted, obtaining data on the practice of atrial fibrillation treatment in 38 Polish electrophysiological centers performing cryoablation of atrial fibrillation using both balloons, Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis MN, and radiofrequency point by point ablation. Around 3,745 cryoballoon procedures were performed in the surveyed centers during the year preceding the survey. The survey concerned practical issues related to the qualification and preparation of patients for the procedure, its course, and the results of pulmonary veins isolation in Poland.

Introduction: Left atrial posterior wall isolation (LAPWI) is often performed in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to improve outcome in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). In this setting, LAPWI + PVI using cryoballoon ablation had comparable results with radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of a new cryoballoon ablation system in PVI + LAPWI isolation, comparing it with the historical platform. Methods: The study was a prospective, non-randomized, single center study. Forty consecutive patients, undergoing PVI + LAPWI with the novel POLARx™, were compared to 40 consecutive patients who underwent the same procedure with the established Arctic Front Advance PRO™. Results: Acute isolation was achieved in all PVs in both groups and LAPWI was achieved in 38 patients (95%) in the POLARx group and in 36 patients (90%) in Arctic Front group. Procedural outcomes were similar between the two groups, except for lower temperatures during cryoapplications in the POLARx group, for both PVI and LAPWI. The complication rate was low and similar between groups. Conclusion: LAPWI+PVI with the novel POLARx™ Cryoballoon is feasible and safe; the results are comparable with the Arctic Front Advance PRO™ system.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Fluoroscopy is commonly used in cryoballoon catheter ablation for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation procedures in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective The purpose of this study was to verify the feasibility of a new dielectric imaging system in reducing the radiation exposure during cryoballoon ablation in patients with AF. Methods We enrolled 26 consecutive patients with paroxysmal AF: 13 patients underwent the procedure under fluoroscopy guidance before the new system introduction, while 13 patient underwent the procedure under fluoroscopy and KODEX-EPD system guidance with its occlusion tool software. After transseptal access a detailed image reconstruction of left atrium and PVs was achieved with the Achieve octapolar circular mapping catheter and the cryoablation was performed with the Arctic Front Advance cryoballoon. Results Total time of the procedure was comparable between the two groups (90.15 ± 28.67 vs 80.77 ± 17.17 using KODEX-EPD, p = 0.34), while fluoroscopy time was significantly lower in the group using KODEX-EPD (16.92 ± 8.96 vs 5.54 ± 2.06, p < 0.01). Acute isolation was achieved in all PVs. No 30 days complication was observed. Conclusion This is the first study that demonstrates the feasibility of a reduce fluoroscopy workflow using the novel KODEX-EPD system in a cryoballoon procedure. Abstract Figure. Fluoroscopy time
