2024 ESC Congress research finds cryoballoon ablation as effective as radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients, with shorter procedure times and lower risks.

Research presented at the ESC Congress 2024 shows that cryoballoon ablation (CB) is as effective as radiofrequency ablation (RF) in treating atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients, with shorter procedure times and lower infusion risks. Additionally, a separate study confirmed that pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) significantly reduces atrial fibrillation burden compared to a sham procedure, demonstrating its effectiveness without placebo effects.
