Cryoablation as standard treatment of atrial flutter: a prospective, 2-center study (CASTAF).

Conclusions: Cryoablation of CTI-dependent AFL is effective, with a low level of procedure-related pain. In experienced hands, the procedure time in this prospective non-randomised trial seems to be in the level of reported procedure times for RF. The long-term relapse rate appears to be higher than for RF.
