Cryoballoon vs. radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: an updated meta-analysis of randomized and observational studies

Conclusion</div>In patients with paroxysmal AF, ablation therapy with CB is associated with efficacy and safety comparable to that of RF. Second-generation CB catheters seem to reduce procedure duration. Further studies are warranted to disclose the impact of second-generation CB catheters compared with RF for ablation of paroxysmal AF.</span>
