Influence of energy source on early atrial fibrillation recurrences: a comparison of cryoballoon vs. radiofrequency current energy ablation with the endpoint of unexcitability in pulmonary vein isolation

ConclusionERAF rates were equal among groups; however, they occurred earlier in the initial phase after RFC ablation when compared with CB-G2. PVI utilizing cryoablation is associated with shorter procedure durations but extended fluoroscopy time while being similarly secure.
