PolarX Cryoballoon metrics predicting successful pulmonary vein isolation: targets for ablation of atrial fibrillation
Abstract Aim Evaluate the novel PolarX Cryoballoon in atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation through a propensity-matched comparison with the Arctic Front Advance (AFA). The aim was also to identify cryoablation metrics that are predictive of successful pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with the Po...

Temperature at 30 s (≤−39.5°C, OR 1.24; P = 0.002), nadir temperature (≤−53.5°C, OR 1.35; P = 0.003), and time to isolation (≤38.0 s, OR 1.18; P = 0.009) were independent predictors of sustained PVI. Combining two of these three targets was associated with reconnection in only 2–5% of PVs. Efficacy and safety of the PolarX Cryoballoon were comparable to AFA Cryoballoon, however, cryoablation metrics were significantly different.
