Résumé
Long-term outcomes in terms of thromboembolic events (TEs) are poorly described after cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (cryo-PVI) for atrial fibrillation (AF). We evaluated the long-term incidence and predictive factors of TE after cryo-PVI. All consecutive patients who underwent cryo-PVI for paroxysmal or persistent AF between November 2012 and October 2017 were included. They were prospectively followed for at least 12 months in the ablation center and then by their cardiologist. Data on all ischemic events (stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), systemic embolism) were collected. In total, 450 patients (78% men, median age 61 years) were included. The mean CHA The long-term incidence of TEs after cryo-PVI was 0.53%/year. The CHA
