Direct Pressure Monitoring Accurately Predicts Pulmonary Vein Occlusion During Cryoballoon Ablation
Published on: February 26, 2013
Abstract:
A new, simple pressurizing technique using air injection into an infusion bottle, makes rapid intravenous infusion of radiopaque contrast medium possible. This method permits the use of 30% solutions in a large volume to obtain excellent venograms while eliminating the complications of pain and thrombophlebitis which often occur with more concentrated solutions.
