Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a pivotal part of any AF ablative therapy. Currently, there are multiple techniques available to realize PVI, including: manual guided cryoballoon (MAN-CB), manual guided radiofrequency (MAN-RF) and Remote Magnetic Navigation guided RF ablation (RMN-RF). However, there is lack of large prospective trials comparing contemporary RMN-RF with the conventional CA techniques. Purpose This study prospectively analyzed and compared three catheter ablation techniques in patients with paroxysmal AF. Methods This multicenter, prospective study included patients with paroxysmal AF who underwent their first CA procedure with one of the mentioned ablation techniques. Procedural parameters (including procedural efficiency), complication rates and freedom of AF during 12-month follow-up were compared between three study groups defined by the utilized ablation technique. Results A total of 221 patients were included in this study. Total procedure time was significantly shorter in MAN-CB (78±21 min) compared to MAN-RF (115±41 min) and compared to RMN-RF (129±32 min) (P |
