Comparison of RF and crYoballoon ablatiOn Therapy of AF（CRYO-AF）

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Atrial Fibrillation

• Registration Number: NCT03044951
• Lead Sponsor: Ruijin Hospital

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.
