Reduced residual conduction gaps and favourable outcome in contact force-guided circumferential pulmonary vein isolation

Conclusion
Contact force-guided CPVI is safe and more effective in reducing not only the procedure time but also the AF recurrence than the conventional CPVI, possibly due to reduced residual conduction gaps during CPVI procedure.
