Cryoballoon Best Practices II: Practical Guide to Procedural Monitoring and Dosing During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation From the Perspective of Experienced Users

Since cryoballoon was evaluated in STOP-AF, over 350,000 patients with AF have been treated. Several studies have reported improved outcomes using the second-generation cryoballoon, and recent publications have evaluated modifications, refinements, and improvements to procedural techniques. Here, peer-reviewed manuscripts published since the first cryoballoon best practices review were summarized against the technical practices of physicians with a high-level of experience with the cryoballoon (average ≥6 years of experience in ≥900 cases).
