Rising Comorbidity Burden in Inpatient Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: Temporal Trends and In‐Hospital Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite advancements in catheter ablation (CA) technique and expertise, success rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not substantially improved in recent years. Treating patients with advanced age and higher comorbidities may limit success rates while increasing complications.

Prevention of Esophageal Damage During Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation by the Esophagus Mechanical Deviation

Journal of Cardiac Arrhythmias, 2020
Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia in the world population. Despite the use of antiarrhythmics, it is difficult to control clinically, causing symptoms and mainly generating risk of a thromboembolic event.

Catheter-related complications and mortality of atrial fibrillation ablation following introduction of contact force-sensing technology

BMJ Surgery, Interventions, & Health Technologies, 2020
Objectives Contact force-sensing catheters allow real-time catheter-tissue contact force monitoring during atrial fibrillation. These catheters were rapidly adopted into clinical practice following market introduction in 2014, but concerns have been ...

The Impact of a Visualized Steerable Sheath on Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for First‐Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Prospective, Randomized, Single‐Blind Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, Volume 108, Issue 3, Page 924-934, September 1, 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A 3D electroanatomical mapping (3D‐EAM) visualized steerable sheath was designed to improve catheter placement and reduce radiation exposure during ablation, an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, prospective randomized data comparing the procedural and clinical outcomes of visualized and non‐visualized ...

Impact of Carina Width on Re‐Ablation Rate of Atrial Fibrillation After Primary Cryoballoon‐Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 1947-1955, September 2026.
Right side carina width is associated with the incidence of reconnection of RPVs and re‐ablation. Increased left side carina width was associated with re‐ablation rate, but there was no association with reconnection of the LPVs. ABSTRACT Background Reconnection of the pulmonary veins (PVs) is the primary cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes after

Clinical Outcomes of Pulsed Field Vs. Thermal Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Evidence

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Across four randomized trials including 1 393 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation showed no statistically clear difference in 12‐month treatment success vs. thermal ablation. Safety estimates remained imprecise. Procedure and left atrial dwell times were shorter, whereas fluoroscopy time was longer, with substantial ...
