Initial experience of three-minute freeze cycles using the second-generation cryoballoon ablation: acute and short-term procedural outcomes.

The second-generation cryoballoon (CB-A) (Arctic Front Advance, Cryocath, Medtronic, MN, USA) might significantly improve procedural outcome with respect to the first-generation balloon. These technological improvements might also question the current recommendation of the need a 4-min freeze to ach...

Description
Summary:The second-generation cryoballoon (CB-A) (Arctic Front Advance, Cryocath, Medtronic, MN, USA) might significantly improve procedural outcome with respect to the first-generation balloon. These technological improvements might also question the current recommendation of the need a 4-min freeze to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).
