Direct Comparison Between Second-Generation Cryoballoon Ablation Versus Contact Force-Sensing Radiofrequency Ablation in Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Study
Abstract:Background
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the main ablation approach for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The superiority of the second-generation cryoballoon (2G-CB) ablation over contact force-sensing radiofrequency (CF-RF) ablation is unclear. Therefore, we sought to investigate the superiority of 2G-CB ablation over CF-RF ablation in paroxysmal AF patients.
Methods
A systematic review and meta-analysis study was conducted. We included 12 studies involving 1419 patients. The overall effects were qu… Show more
