Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Both women (after exclusion of a pregnancy) and men older than 18 years are included, with planned manual guided pulmonary vein isolation using cryo-energy. There must be no contraindications for anticoagulation. Admission to study participation is required.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Catheter ablation within 3 months before the planned pulmonary vein isolation using cryo-energy. Pneumonia within 3 months prior to ablation. Patients with a COPD Gold III-IV or a known change in the bronchial system. Patients with known or impaired pulmonary malignancy. Existing contraindication to perform bronchoscopy.
