PVI using HPSD is equally effective and safe to CB-PVI. This analysis revealed a similar arrhythmia-free survival after HPSD and CB with low complication rates. Procedure duration for CB was significantly shorter while LA dwell time excluding mapping was equal. Currently, a prospective trial is conducted to corroborate these findings.
