Cryoballoon Ablation of the Left Common Pulmonary Vein Using a Size‐Adjustable Cryoballoon: A Comparative Study

Background The efficacy of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) using a 28‐mm or 31‐mm cryoballoon for isolating the left common pulmonary vein (LCPV) remains poorly established.

Comparative analysis of left atrial size and appendage morphology in paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation patients

Journal of Arrhythmia
Purpose Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is effective in treating atrial fibrillation (AF), but outcomes are worse for persistent AF (persAF) patients than paroxysmal AF (PAF) patients.

Periprocedural complications after laser balloon ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation: An analysis using a nationwide claims database

Heart Rhythm O2
Background: Evidence regarding the periprocedural safety of laser balloon (LB) catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is scarce. Objective: We aimed to investigate the periprocedural safety of LB ablation for AF compared with that of either ...

CT angiography-derived three-dimensional pulmonary vein topography is related to the outcome after cryoballoon ablation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundFollowing cryoballoon ablation, 20%–30% of the patients show recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) in long-term follow-up as a consequence of incomplete circumferential ablation lines.

Radiofrequency or cryoablation or medical therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: An indirect comparison of effectiveness

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is commonly treated with pharmacological therapies, but these may be insufficient for symptom control. Radiofrequency and cryoballoon ablation have emerged as alternative strategies.
