Pulsed Field or Cryoballoon Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Among patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, PFA was noninferior to cryoballoon ablation with respect to the incidence of a first recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia, as assessed by continuous rhythm monitoring.
