Shorter RSPV cryoapplications result in less phrenic nerve injury and similar 1-year freedom from atrial fibrillation.

Shortening cryoballoon applications of the RSPV to <2 minutes results in less PNI, while acute success and 1-year freedom from AF are not compromised. Therefore, shorter cryoballoon applications (especially) in the RSPV could be used to reduce PNI.
