Comparative Study of Arctic Front Advance Pro and POLARx Cryoballoons for Linear Ablation of the Left Atrial Roof
The nadir cryoballoon temperature with POLARx was approximately 10°C lower than with AFA-Pro, consistently dropping below -40°C during LA roof line CBA. Thus, a complete conduction block of the LA roof line can be easily accomplished using right superior PV anchoring and the raise-up techniques without the need for rapid right ventricular pacing with POLARx.
