There is insufficient evidence to suggest that one CA technique is superior to another. However, PVAC may be associated with a shorter procedural duration, and the CB2 catheters also seemed to reduce the procedure time compared with that of CF-IRF. Further large-scale studies are warranted to compare the available CA techniques and provide an up-to-date optimum recommendation.
