Real-time recording of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using a circular mapping catheter has become a key aspect of cryoballoon (CB) ablation. The aim of this study was to investigate the procedural safety, efficacy and rate of real-time pulmonary vein (PV) recording using a novel circular mapping catheter with a 25-mm loop size for CB-based PVI.Methods and Results:A total of 40 patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) underwent PVI using a second-generation CB and a novel 25-mm circular mapping catheter. A total of 159 PV were identified and successfully isolated. Real-time PV recording was achieved in 80% of the PV. In 3 right inferior PV the circular mapping catheter had to be exchanged for a stiff guidewire due to insufficient mechanical support. Therefore, acute PVI using exclusively the circular mapping catheter was achieved in 156/159 PV (98%). Mean procedure and fluoroscopy times were 66±21 min and 15±6 min, respectively. Transient phrenic nerve palsy occurred in 1 patient as the only procedural complication.
