Background: This paper aims to review and compare the mechanical and technical similarities and differences between the Arctic Front series cryoballoons from Medtronic and the next-generation cryoballoons, including POLARx and POLARx FIT from Boston Scientific and Nordica from Synaptic. As cryoballoon technology continues to evolve, the introduction of lower-pressure and selectable-size balloons presents new considerations for both safety and efficacy of cryoablation of atrial fibrillation.
