A Case of Gastroparesis after Cryoballoon Ablation followed by Medication-Induced Recovery within 6 Months [PDF]

, 2018
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and cryoballoon ablation was developed as a new treatment modality for symptomatic AF. Gastroparesis is rarely reported as a transient complication of ablation, and its frequency and risk ...

Can We STOP AF With Cryoballoon Ablation?

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
We read with interest the paper by Packer et al. [(1)][1], which demonstrated lower recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryoballoon ablation (CB), as compared with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy.

An alternative method for phrenic nerve monitoring during cryoballoon procedures [PDF]

Background Cryoballoon ablation is associated with a consistent risk of phrenic nerve (PN) damage. Abdominal palpation associated with other strategies such as the diaphragmatic compound motor action potential (CMAP) has been shown to be an effective and

Cryoballoon ablation using the sheath‐in‐sheath technique in a patient with a tortuous common iliac vein

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message The sheath‐in‐sheath technique, utilizing a 15Fr cryoballoon delivery sheath inserted into a 25 cm 16Fr sheath, effectively navigates tortuous iliac veins during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation, ensuring safe delivery ...

Cryoballoon-Assisted Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Left Atrial Roof Ablation Using a Simplified Sedation Strategy without Esophageal Temperature Monitoring: No Notable Thermal Esophageal Lesions and Low Arrhythmia Recurrence Rates after 2 Years

Diagnostics
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is increasingly effective for managing heart rhythm but poses risks like esophageal fistulas. Minimizing esophageal thermal lesions while simplifying procedures is crucial.

Two competing cryoballoon technologies for single shot pulmonary vein isolation

, 2022
Following its introduction into clinical practice, the cryoballoon (CB) has proved to be an alternative for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). In comparison with the standard radiofrequency

Efficacy and safety of cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation: A comparison with radiofrequency ablation

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background Cryoballoon ablation was established as an effective and safe modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). However, its role in persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) remains unclear.
