Fig. 1 Flowchart depicting cryoenergy dosing depending on TTI (TTI group) or with a fixed ablation protocol (fixed group). Freeze cycles in the TTI group are varied depending on TTI. Occurrence of TTI in the different categories is indicated. AF - atrial fibrillation; PV - pulmonary vein; PVI – pulmonary vein isolation; TTI - time-to-isolation.

Fig. 2 Kaplan-Meier curves indicating freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence during follow-up after cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation with a fixed ablation protocol (fixed group) or a time-to-isolation-guided ablation protocol (TTI group). (A) Freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence off class I or class III antiarrhythmic drugs after a three-months blanking period. (B) Freedom from atrial fibrillation recurrence off class I or class III antiarrhythmic drugs after a three-months blanking period.

Supplementary Fig. 3 Kaplan-Meier curves indicating freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence independent of class I/III antiarrhythmic drug therapy during follow-up after cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation with a fixed ablation protocol (fixed group) or a time-to-isolation-guided ablation protocol (TTI group). (A) Freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence after a three-months blanking period. (B) Freedom from atrial fibrillation recurrence after a three-months blanking period.
