Comparing between second‐generation cryoballoon vs open‐irrigated radiofrequency ablation in elderly patients: Acute and long‐term outcomes

Comparing between second‐generation cryoballoon vs open‐irrigated radiofrequency ablation in elderly patients: Acute and long‐term outcomes

Background Limited comparative data are available regarding catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) using second‐generation cryoballoon (CB‐2) vs radiofrequency (RF) ablation in elderly patients (>75‐year‐old). Hypothesis CB‐2 ablation may demonstrate different outcomes compared with t...

Zusammenfassung:Background Limited comparative data are available regarding catheter ablation (CA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) using second‐generation cryoballoon (CB‐2) vs radiofrequency (RF) ablation in elderly patients (>75‐year‐old). Hypothesis CB‐2 ablation may demonstrate different outcomes compared with that using RF ablation for elderly patients with AF. Method Elderly patients with symptomatic drug‐refractory AF were included in the study. Pulmonary vein isolation was performed in all patients. Results A total of 324 elderly patients were included (RF: 176, CB‐2:148) from September 2016 to April 2019. The CB‐2 was associated with shorter procedure time and left atrial dwell time (112.9 ± 11.1 vs 135.1 ± 9.9 minutes, P
