PolarX vs Arctic Front for Cryoballoon Ablation of Paroxysmal AF: The Randomized COMPARE CRYO Study.

Pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Cryoballoon ablation using the Arctic Front cryoballoon (Medtronic) was found to be superior to antiarrhythmic drug treatment. Recently, a novel cryoballoon system was introduced (PolarX, Boston Scientific).
