TLDR
More refined phrenic nerve monitoring during right-sided pulmonary vein ablation and less vigorous wedging maneuvers in the pulmonary vein ostia might significantly reduce the occurrence of right PNP with the second-generation cryoballoon ablation Arctic Front Advance.About:

TL;DR: The use of second-generation 28-mm cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation results in an 80% 1-year success rate and of 8 of 10 patients with arrhythmia recurrence, a second procedure using radiofrequency ablation demonstrated left atrial to pulmonary vein reconduction.

Single 3-minute freeze for second-generation cryoballoon ablation: One-year follow-up after pulmonary vein isolation

TL;DR: A single 3-minute freeze is highly effective, determining an atrial tachyarrhythmia freedom of 80.4% at 1-year follow-up, and Routine use of an "insurance freeze" may not be needed.

TL;DR: The second generation Cryoballoon Advance was designed with technical modifications resulting in a larger and more uniform zone of freezing on the balloon's surface aiming at procedural outcome improvement in the setting of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
