For obese patients, CB-PVI is similarly safe and effective as RF-PVI. The significantly shorter procedure time for CB-PVI may minimize potential obesity-related complications. However, the lower contrast medium quantity and fluoroscopy dose in RF-PVI must be considered. AF recurrence rates were comparable between CB-PVI and RF-PVI.
