Abstract:Currently, cryoballoon ablation has been a new technique in the field of atrial fibrillation ablation. Although its effectiveness and safety among patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation have been verified by a large number of clinical researches, largesample prospective clinical studies are still needed to assess its longterm efficacy on those with persistent atrial fibrillation in order to further confirm the virtually beneficial population. This paper reviews the literatures of clinical application and research advances of cryoballoon ablation from the aspects of its indications, effectiveness, safety, superiority, longterm effectiveness, limitations, key points of operation and so forth.
