Hundred patients who underwent PVI due to symptomatic, drug-refractory AF were treated with the CB-Advance PRO (group I) and were included into this multicenter analysis. A group of 100 patients were treated with the CB2 and acted as controls (group II).RESULTS: In total, 739 of 739 PVs (100%) were successfully isolated.
