Medical therapy, radiofrequency ablation or cryoballoon ablation as first-line treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: interpreting efficacy through restricted mean survival time and network meta-analysis [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
When multiple treatments are available, network meta-analysis can evaluate data to rank the relative effectiveness. We applied this approach to first-line treatments for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (medical therapy, radiofrequency ablation or ...

Cryoballoon ablation of the left atrial posterior wall reduces recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Background This study aimed to clarify the clinical outcomes of cryoballoon ablation of the left atrial (LA) posterior wall (LAPW), including the LA roof, in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).

Amplified sinus-P-wave analysis predicts outcomes of cryoballoon ablation in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: A multicentre study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionOutcomes of catheter ablation for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) remain suboptimal. Non-invasive stratification of patients based on the presence of atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) could allow to identify the best responders to pulmonary

Long‐Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Brugada Syndrome and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. In addition, patients with BrS with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) might experience inappropriate shocks for fast ...

Long-term comparisons of atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes with a cryoballoon or laser-balloon: A propensity-matched analysis based on continuous rhythm monitoring

Hellenic Journal of Cardiology, 2022
Objective: Cryoballoon (CB) and laser-balloon (LB) catheter ablation (CA) has been demonstrated to achieve durable and effective pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Eccentric scar formation around a pulmonary vein after cryo-balloon ablation in a patient with atrial fibrillation: A case report

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
The impact of a cryoballoon ablation is reported to be similar to that of a radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) could visualize the scar region induced by the ...

Supplemental Radiofrequency Ablation After Acutely Unsuccessful Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation is Associated With Increased Risk of Recurrent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Cryoballoon (CB) ablation is widely performed for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Anatomic variations in patient pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy are believed to impact short‐ and long‐term procedural ...

Fluoroscopic Appearance of a Single-Wall Cryoballoon Breach During Pulmonary Vein Isolation

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
Cryoballoon ablation therapy is increasingly used for pulmonary vein isolation. Its safety and efficacy profile is comparable to that of radiofrequency ablation therapy. Double-wall cryoballoon breaches have been described in published reports.

Is cryoballoon ablation preferable to radiofrequency ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation by pulmonary vein isolation? A meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
ObjectiveCurrently radiofrequency and cryoballoon ablations are the two standard ablation systems used for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation; however, there is no universal consensus on which ablation is the optimal choice.
