SVC superior vena cava.

The position of cryoballoon was evaluated under fluoroscopic guidance in AP projection during RSPV ablation. None: the lower half of the balloon is completely located inside the cardiac shadow. Distal 1/3: less than one-third of the lower portion of the balloon is located outside the cardiac shadow. Mid 1/3: one-third or more of the lower portion of the balloon is located outside the cardiac shadow.
