Abstract

The CB-2G significantly improved procedural efficacy compared to the CB-1G and provided reliable T(PVI) measurement. T(PVI) may be used to adjust application time and number individually in future studies. Final conclusions regarding the safety profile of the CB-2G requires additional research.
