Atrial Fibrillation
Conditions
Keywords
atrial fibrillation, cryoablation, irrigated radiofrequency ablation, pulmonary vein isolation
Brief summary
It's a multi-center, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trial of cryoballoon versus radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Detailed description
The hypothesis of this study is that pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon ablation is not inferior to radiofrequency ablation with 3D mapping with respect to clinical safety and efficacy.
Interventions
cryoballoon ablation:pulmonary vein isolation by cryoballoon
radiofrequency ablation: pulmonary vein isolation by radiofrequency energy
