Cryoablation benefits
Cryoablation involving freezing balloon technology is claimed to enable highly precise targeting of the tissues to be destroyed without damaging the surrounding tissues.
Atrial fibrillation is a distressing cardiac disorder that affects around 7 million patients worldwide: in the USA alone, over 2 million people suffer from this disorder.
Moreover, only about 7% of patients satisfactorily respond to drug treatment. Older technologies using heat to treat the condition tend to cause a degree of damage, whereas cryoablation involving freezing balloon technology is claimed to enable highly precise targeting of the tissues to be destroyed without damaging the surrounding tissues.
