The procedure is performed without a 3D mapping system, under X-ray control. A balloon with a diameter of 23 or 28 mm is placed at the ostium (mouth) of each pulmonary vein (heart usually has 4 of them) and then the inside of the balloon is cooled to -80 \u1d52C. The potential benefits of cryoablation are shorter duration of the procedure in comparison to the radiofrequency ablation and the need for a single transseptal puncture. According to the results of studies done so far, success is similar to radiofrequency ablation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>
