Comparison of Radiofrequency Ablation and Cryoablation for the Recovery of Atrial Contractility and Survival.

Conclusion: Cryoablation was associated with a higher atrial contractility restoration rate and better left ventricular function than radiofrequency ablation. However, no significant relationship was observed between the energy source and overall or MACCE-free survival. PMID: 30109205 [PubMed]
