Cryoballoon atrial fibrillation ablation: Single-center safety and efficacy data using a novel cryoballoon technology compared to a historical balloon platform

Catheter ablation is superior to drugs regarding atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence, symptoms improvement, and mortality reduction in heart failure. POLARx™ is a novel cryoballoon, with technical improvements seeking to improve outcomes. So far, its clinical evidence is restricted to a case report.
