J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol. 2021 Apr;32(4):931-932. doi: 10.1111/jce.14953. Epub 2021 Mar 4.

Abstract

Generations of cryoballoon transformed the atrial fibrillation ablation landscape. New advancements continue to make cryoballoon more successful and safer treatment. A new cryoballoon PolaRx from Boston Scientific has unique features compared to that of the Medtronic Arctic Front Advance system. Comparison of the two available cryoballoons will require ongoing larger trial and clinical experience.

Keywords: ablation; atrial fibrillation; cryo ablation; cryoballoon.
