Redefining the Blanking Period by a Long-Term Follow-Up after Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Using Second-Generation Cryoballoon.

In conclusion, ERAT was an independent predictor of LAFR after AF ablation using sg-CB. Based on our findings, blanking period was advised to be shorten to 21.5 days or about 3 weeks instead of 90 days after CB ablation. PMID: 32879265 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
