Outcome of contact force-guided radiofrequency catheter ablation or second generation cryoballoon ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: propensity score matched analysis
Abstract:Background
Little has been reported on the outcome of contact force (CF)-guided radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) and second generation cryoballoon ablation (CBA).
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to compare the outcome of CF-guided RFCA and second generation CBA for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).
Methods
We enrolled the consecutive 364 pati… Show more
