Cryoablation Versus Hybrid Radiofrequency with High and Very-High Power Short Duration Catheter Ablation for the Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

CONCLUSIONS: HPSD/vHPSD and CRYO in pAF were comparable regarding the arrhythmia recurrence rates in a 12 months follow-up with excellent safety. The hybrid approach of HPSD/vHPSD has accelerated RF-PVI, compared to conventional RF, but CRYO remains a procedure of significantly shorter duration at the expense of longer fluoroscopy time.PMID:38554832 | DOI:10.1016/j.hjc.2024.03.014
