This complaint is from a literature source.It was reported that one patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (paf) underwent cryothermal pvi and suffered a pneumothorax during the puncture of the right subclavian vein, which was not associated with the cb procedure.Based on the facts of the case and the author¿s assessment, there were no reported malfunction with any of the bwi catheters and systems used during the case.Thus, this event is unrelated to the device and most likely related to the procedure.Title: "pulmonary vein isolation using a second-generation cryoballoon in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: one-year outcome using a single big-balloon " 108 patients were enrolled in the study.The purpose of this study was to assess the 1-year clinical outcome after second-generation cb ablation with single 3-minute freeze techniques, and clinical variables associated with af recurrence.
