title: Comparison of microRNA expression after AF-Ablation with Cryo balloon vs. Pulsed field ablation
library_construction_protocol: Human citrate Plasma was collected from the left atrial appendage directly after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation with either teh Boston Scientific Cryo-Balloon System or the Boston Scientific Pulsed Field Ablation System.  Platelet free citrate plasma from the left atrium after plused field ablation vs cryo balloon ablation for atrial fibrillation RNA was extracted from human plasma using the miRNeasy Serum/Plasma Kit (Qiagen)  Small RNA sequencing was performed with library preparation using the NEXTFLEXÂ® Small RNA-Seq Kit v4.
