two recent studies compared the mid-term results of CB2 versus contact-force sensing RF&#46; Both included a small number of patients treated with CB2 and reported success rates of 75-80&#37; at one year and 67-72&#37;

since the population characteristics and the follow-up procedures based on assessment of symptoms and additional non-invasive Holter recordings were similar&#46; Regarding patients with PeAF&#44; very different arrhythmia-free survival rates at 2-3 years of follow-up after a single CB2 procedure have been reported&#44;

suggesting that a single CB2 procedure has limited success for the long-term control of PeAF&#46; The large differences may be related more to difficulty in the classification of the arrhythmia as PAF or PeAF&#44; which can be difficult in many patients&#44; than to the intrinsic characteristics of the procedure&#46; Although a bonus freeze and an additional roof line were used in several patients in the series with the best results&#44;

Moreover&#44; a significant and clinically meaningful improvement in several quality-of-life scores was also observed in the vast majority of patients&#44; suggesting to the authors that some procedures might be considered a clinical success despite a documented arrhythmia recurrence&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> In our series&#44; with a longer follow-up period&#44; most patients with clinically documented recurrence will need antiarrhythmic drugs&#44; a second procedure or a switch to a rate control strategy&#46; However&#44; approximately 11&#37; of patients with recurrences will have a good medium-term clinical course and continue to have a low burden of symptomatic arrhythmias&#44; not requiring further use of pharmacological or invasive therapies to control the episodes&#46; This is a small but not negligible percentage and may support a conservative strategy after a first isolated late recurrence&#44; even if it has been symptomatic&#46; The percentage of patients with clinically significant improvement increases if those who have good control of the arrhythmia under antiarrhythmic drugs that were not effective before the ablation procedure are included&#44;

at 50&#37; and 31&#37;&#46; The clinical severity of recurrences is not usually addressed in the literature&#44; but this parameter may be important from a clinical standpoint&#46; Our results suggest that approximately one fourth of patients with recurrence may do well with a conservative strategy&#46;</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In patients with PAF&#44; two recent studies compared the mid-term results of CB2 versus contact-force sensing RF&#46; Both included a small number of patients treated with CB2 and reported success rates of 75-80&#37; at one year and 67-72&#37;

since the population characteristics and the follow-up procedures based on assessment of symptoms and additional non-invasive Holter recordings were similar&#46; Regarding patients with PeAF&#44; very different arrhythmia-free survival rates at 2-3 years of follow-up after a single CB2 procedure have been reported&#44;

suggesting that a single CB2 procedure has limited success for the long-term control of PeAF&#46; The large differences may be related more to difficulty in the classification of the arrhythmia as PAF or PeAF&#44; which can be difficult in many patients&#44; than to the intrinsic characteristics of the procedure&#46; Although a bonus freeze and an additional roof line were used in several patients in the series with the best results&#44;

Moreover&#44; a significant and clinically meaningful improvement in several quality-of-life scores was also observed in the vast majority of patients&#44; suggesting to the authors that some procedures might be considered a clinical success despite a documented arrhythmia recurrence&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0140"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> In our series&#44; with a longer follow-up period&#44; most patients with clinically documented recurrence will need antiarrhythmic drugs&#44; a second procedure or a switch to a rate control strategy&#46; However&#44; approximately 11&#37; of patients with recurrences will have a good medium-term clinical course and continue to have a low burden of symptomatic arrhythmias&#44; not requiring further use of pharmacological or invasive therapies to control the episodes&#46; This is a small but not negligible percentage and may support a conservative strategy after a first isolated late recurrence&#44; even if it has been symptomatic&#46; The percentage of patients with clinically significant improvement increases if those who have good control of the arrhythmia under antiarrhythmic drugs that were not effective before the ablation procedure are included&#44; since according to our results 16&#46;7&#37; of patients with recurrences may have a good clinical response to this approach&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0045" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="sect0105">Study limitations</span><p id="par0055" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">First&#44;
