Cryoballoon Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Pulmonary vein isolation with catheter ablation is an effective treatment in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to antiarrhythmic medications. The cryoballoon catheter was recently approved for this procedure.

Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2012
Focal point-by-point radiofrequency catheter ablation has shown considerable success in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, it is not without limitations.

Cryoballoon Ablation Strategy in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Cryoballoon ablation is established for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective was to evaluate CBA strategy in consecutive patients with persistent AF in the initial AF ablation procedure.Material

Massive Left Atrial Thrombosis Shortly After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: Implications of Reduced Flow Dynamics Detected by Four-Dimensional Flow Magnetic Resonance Imaging. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
A large left atrial (LA) thrombus developed 5 days after repeated ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation despite uninterrupted anticoagulation. The thrombus formed at the previously ablated LA roof, where four‐dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging later showed reduced regional flow velocity, suggesting that persistent local flow stagnation ...

'Unblinding' the cryoballoon [PDF]

Europace, 2012
Percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation, with point-by-point elliptical radiofrequency (RF) applications around the pulmonary vein ostia, remains the cornerstone of ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). 1 The conventional procedure (point-by-point application) is highly dependent on the dexterity and experience of the operator.

Cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation: Effects on neuromodulation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) represents the mainstay of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, and PVI with cryoballoon catheter (CB) ablation (CB-A) has proven to be as effective and safe as radiofrequency ablation (RF-A). Although AF is initiated by triggers arising from the pulmonary veins (PV) and non-PV foci, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system ...

Characterization of superresponders to cryoballoon ablation [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2021
Abstract Background Isolation of pulmonary veins is the cornerstone in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation rather with radiofrequency or cryo balloon. Recurrence rate is quite common in the long term follow up, clearly related to previosly described factors.

Comparison of Using Second-Generation Cryoballoon and Radiofrequency Catheter for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Patients With the Common Ostium of Inferior Pulmonary Veins

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Aims: To compare the procedural outcomes of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with the common ostium of inferior pulmonary veins (COIPV) and to explore the effect of COIPV on CBA performance

A Simplified Approach to Pulmonary Vein Visualization during Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

Medicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: Selective pulmonary vein (PV) angiography has been established as the gold standard for PV visualization in cryoballoon (CB)-based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Predictors of sustained isolation of pulmonary vein ostia with cryoballoon ablation using a second-generation cryoballoon Arctic Front Advance

Российский кардиологический журнал, 2019
Aim. To determine the electrophysiological and biophysical predictors of sustained isolation of pulmonary vein (PV) ostia, affecting the immediate and longterm results of interventional treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) using cryoballoon ablation ...
