Phrenic nerve injury during ablation with the second-generation cryoballoon: analysis of the temperature drop behaviour in a large cohort of patients

Conclusion
The analysis of the temperature course within the first 40 s after the initiation of the freezing cycle showed that the temperature dropped significantly faster in patients with PNI during ablation in the RSPV.
