Does pulmonary vein isolation with pulsed field ablation improve atrial fibrillation free survival compared to a novel cryoballoon ablation system in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Pulsed field ablation and a novel cryoballoon ablation system demonstrate similar procedural characteristics, safety, and atrial fibrillation free survival for pulmonary vein isolation.
Procedural characteristics were very similar between PFA and CB in regard to procedure duration fluoroscopy time and complications. Atrial fibrillation free survival did not differ between the PFA and CB groups.
Badertscher et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
