Integrating CF technology and the porous tip technology enables effective energy transfer to the tissue resulting in shorter ablation time and less irrigation fluid administration. In our cohort, PVI using the STSF was not associated with an increased complication rate or AF recurrence rate after 12-month follow-up when compared with the ST.
