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.

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 ...

Cryoballoon Ablation of the Left Common Pulmonary Vein Using a Size-Adjustable Cryoballoon: A Comparative Study. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
ABSTRACT 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. We aimed to evaluate procedural outcomes and long‐term follow‐up data of CBA for the LCPV using either POLARx with a ...

Headache during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Europace, 2015
Headache has been reported to occur during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). No study has systematically analysed this phenomenon.Twenty consecutive patients with symptomatic AF underwent cryoballoon ablation without sedation. Headache was evaluated before, during, and after the first cryoapplication in every pulmonary vein (PV) using ...

Cryoballoon in atrial fibrillation ablation

Herz, 2012
Encouraging results of ablation therapy in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) have prompted changes in professional practice guidelines. The most recent European guidelines have suggested that ablation might be offered as first-line therapy in selected patients. Cryoballoon ablation is a promising technology in interventional AF therapy.

Intra-Procedural Three-Dimensional Rotational Angiography in Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: An RCT. [PDF]

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
ABSTRACT Background The impact of various imaging techniques on the safety and outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains unclear. Intra‐procedural three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is the least used imaging method despite some benefits.

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

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.

Anatomical Predictors of Optimal Cryoballoon Size Selection: A Prospective Comparison of 28 mm Versus 31 mm Size-Adjustable Balloon Modes. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
The 31 mm POLARx FIT cryoballoon achieves significantly higher complete pulmonary vein occlusion rates than the 28 mm mode, particularly in superior veins. Larger PV diameter and higher ovality index independently predict incomplete occlusion, supporting pre‐procedural CT‐based anatomical assessment for individualized balloon size selection.
