Shortening of freezing cycles provides equal outcome to standard ablation procedure using second-generation 28 mm cryoballoon after 15-month follow-up

Conclusion
Shortening of freezing times to 4 min per PV without residual dormant PV conduction after adenosine provocation is equally effective to the standard CB ablation protocol using a bonus freeze.
