Top-Publications N Engl J Med. 2025 Pulsed Field or Cryoballoon Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Reichlin T, Kueffer T, Badertscher P, Jüni P, Knecht S, Thalmann G, Kozhuharov N, Krisai P Jufer C, Maurhofer J, Heg D, Pereira TV, Mahfoud F, Servatius H, Tanner H, Kühne M, Roten L, Sticherling C; SINGLE SHOT CHAMPION Investigators Background: Pulmonary-vein isolation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Data are lacking on outcomes after PFA as compared with cryoballoon ablation as assessed with continuous rhythm monitoring.
