The second‐generation cryoballoon (CB2) provides effective and durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) associated with encouraging clinical outcome. The novel fourth‐generation cryoballoon (CB4) incorporates a 40% shorter distal tip. This design change may translate into an increased rate of PVI real‐time signal recording, facilitating an individualized ablation strategy using the time to effect (TTE).
