Kaiser in SF bay area describes how they ablate AFib patients. First line is cryo if the patient is early in progression and still paroxysmal. More complex cases and second procedures require RF and likely the use of STXS system. From another source, EP Lab, the split for cryo vs RF is 60-40. IMO Kaiser in LA will probably end up with the same process and split. Perhaps a couple of hundred complex procedures per system per year as a rough estimate. System is also being used in some right sided procedures as well.
