The impact of left atrium size on selection of the pulmonary vein isolation method for atrial fibrillation: Cryoballoon or radiofrequency catheter ablation

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF), and noninferiority of cryoballoon (CB) over radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been previously reported. One of the risk factors of recurrence is left atrium (LA) enlargement. This study aimed to ana...
