The second-generation cryoballoon (CB2) provides effective and durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) associated with encouraging and reproducible clinical outcome data. The latest-generation cryoballoon (CB3) incorporates a 40% shorter distal tip, thus allowing for an increased rate of PVI real-time signal recording and facilitating individualized ablation strategies taking the time-to-effect (TTE) into account. However, whether this characteristic translates into favorable clinical success has not been evaluated yet. Herein was investigated one-year clinical success after CB3 in comparison to CB2 based-PVI.

Abstract
The second-generation cryoballoon (CB2) provides effective and durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) associated with encouraging and reproducible clinical outcome data. The latest-generation cryoballoon (CB3) incorporates a 40% shorter distal tip, thus allowing for an increased rate of PVI real-time signal recording and facilitating individualized ablation strategies taking the time-to-effect (TTE) into account. However, whether this characteristic translates into favorable clinical success has not been evaluated yet. Herein was investigated one-year clinical success after CB3 in comparison to CB2 based-PVI.File in questo prodotto:
