The fourth cryoballoon generation with a shorter tip to facilitate real‐time pulmonary vein potential recording: Feasibility and safety results

Time‐to‐isolation (TTI) guided ablation protocols have been developed to ensure durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in cryoballoon ablation (CBA). The aim was to determine the feasibility and safety of the fourth generation cryoballoon (CBG4) with a shortened tip.
