OP-285 What Lies Beneath the Cryoballoon Ablation with The New Arctic Front Advance Cryoballoon: Higher Incidence of Phrenic Nerve Palsy

Background Compared with the first-generation Arctic Front (ARC-CB, ArcticFront, Medtronic Inc, MN, USA), the new Arctic Front Advance (ARC-Adv-CB, ArcticFront Advance, Medtronic Inc, MN, USA) cryoballoon increases efficient balloon-tissue contact surface during freezing, which may increase the risk...

Description
Summary:Background Compared with the first-generation Arctic Front (ARC-CB, ArcticFront, Medtronic Inc, MN, USA), the new Arctic Front Advance (ARC-Adv-CB, ArcticFront Advance, Medtronic Inc, MN, USA) cryoballoon increases efficient balloon-tissue contact surface during freezing, which may increase the risk of phrenic nerve palsy (PNP), the most common complication of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
