Cryoballoon Versus Irrigated Radiofrequency Ablation in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Multi-center, Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Study

It's a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial of cryoballoon versus radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The hypothesis of this study is that pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon ablation is not inferior to radiofrequency ablation with 3D mapping with respect to clinical safety and efficacy.
