In the words of Dr. Pierre Jais of the Bordeaux Group at the 2020 AF Symposium, “We have ablated too much…Those patients when they have the (Left Atrial) Appendage taken out, they have very poor residual LA (Left Atrium) function. I don’t want that to happen anymore. If we can avoid it, I think we should.” Dr. Jais later added, “Sinus rhythm is by definition superior to persistent A-Fib. But the best ablation strategy is the one that restores sinus rhythm at the least tissue cost, thereby preserving as much as possible the LA function.

The only benefits of cryo over RF are that it's quick and it's simple, which means inexperienced EPs can do ablations with a decent chance of success. It can only do a basic PVI, so it's not useful at all for complex cases and touch up ablations.

Am I wrong but the pulse trials also only ablate the PVI? I know Dr N uses both methods from reading a recent post but is it true most pulse trials are limited to the PVI? Is it because the tip is bigger?
