The novel CB-4 achieved significantly faster procedural ablation times in comparison to the previous generations, while still maintaining a low rate of acute complications. Also, the rate of TTI visualization was observed to be higher with the CB-4 catheter. Further long-term evaluation is necessary, including an assessment of AF recurrence and PV reconnection(s).
