Comparison between radiofrequency with contact force-sensing and second-generation cryoballoon for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation catheter ablation: a multicentre European evaluation

Abstract: Pulmonary vein isolation using CF-guided RF and second-generation CB leads to comparable single-procedure arrhythmia-free survival at up to 18 months with similar overall complication rate.

“…In a study comparing RF CA using contact force and the second-generation cryoballoon, the overall freedom from AF was similar in both groups at 18 months. However, the procedural time was shorter in the cryoablation group albeit with a higher incidence of phrenic nerve palsy 74 . The ongoing FIRE And ICE study, is a multicenter randomized control study comparing the second-generation cryoballoon to that of standard RF ablation.…”

“…In addition, the overall complication rate was similar in the CB and CF groups (7.3 % versus 7.1 %; p=0.93). 26 In another study comparing the two techniques, 56 consecutive patients underwent a repeat ablation due to recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias after the index PVI achieved with CF ablation (30 patients) or CB ablation (26 patients). The percentage of reconnected PVs was significantly lower following CB procedures than with CF ablation (36.1 % PVs in the CF catheter ablation group, versus 20.4 % PVs in the secondgeneration CB ablation group; p=0.01).…”

“…Nonetheless, clinical 1-year success rate was 88% in our CF-RFA group and 88% in our CBA group, respectively. Recent studies comparing CF-guided RFA with CBA have shown statistical equivalence between the 2 technologies 25) . This may relate to the fact that even focused lesions may eliminate triggers and that not for all transmural continuous lesions around the PVs are needed [26][27][28][29] .…”
