Balloon cryoablation is a novel method of atrial fibrillation catheter treatment which implies modification of arrhythmia substrate by deep local myocardial freezing. Over the past 10 years balloon cryoablation has become a conventional interventional method of atrial fibrillation treatment. Its efficacy and safety are confirmed by clinical studies. Compared to radiofrequency ablation when the technique of multiple applications is used, balloon cryoablation allows to shorten the procedure duration due to one-time isolation of pulmonary veins. Usage of the 2-nd generation balloon catheters resulted in more effective, safe and quick procedures. The current review highlights technical aspects and methods of cryoablation, results of clinical studies and future method development perspectives.
