One-year follow-up after second-generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation in a large cohort of patients: a single-centre experience

Abstract

Freedom from any ATa can be achieved in 81.9% of patients after a single CB-Adv procedure in a large cohort of patients. A bonus freeze does not influence the clinical outcome, and reducing the duration of the cryoapplication to 3 min offers excellent results. Persistent AF and arrhythmia recurrence during the BP are strong predictors of AF recurrence.
