Pentaspline Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter Versus Cryoballoon for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Results From a Prospective Comparative Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Cryoballoon ablation is currently the gold standard technique for single‐shot pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has recently emerged as an interesting nonthermal alternative energy for PVI.

Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation in Very Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Short- To Mid-Term Outcomes From a Multicenter Study. [PDF]

J Arrhythm
Patients aged ≥ 80 years with atrial fibrillation underwent catheter ablation. At 2 years, the recurrence‐free survival rate was 85.8% in paroxysmal AF and 63.6% in persistent AF (p = 0.024), and periprocedural complications occurred in 12.0%, including severe complications in 3.3%.

Complications of Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2019
Since the cryoballoon (CB) was introduced into clinical practice, more than 400,000 patients have undergone a pulmonary vein (PV) isolation with a CB throughout the world. Although the efficacy of the first-generation CB was limited, the recently introduced secondgeneration CB has achieved a greater uniformity in cooling, which has facilitated a ...

Cryoballoon or Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
Current guidelines recommend pulmonary-vein isolation by means of catheter ablation as treatment for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is the most common method, and cryoballoon ablation is the second most frequently used technology.We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to determine whether cryoballoon ...

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Through a Permanent Inferior Vena Cava Filter

Clinical Case Reports
Ablation using a cryoballoon can minimize the number of sheaths passing through a permanent inferior vena cava filter (pIVCF). Cryoballoon ablation with only a few sheaths can be safely and efficiently performed via the usual femoral vein approach in ...

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 ...

'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.

Phrenic Nerve Injury During Cryoballoon-Based Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Results of the Worldwide YETI Registry [PDF]

, 2022
Background: Cryoballoon-based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has emerged as an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation. The most frequent complication during cryoballoon-based PVI is phrenic nerve injury (PNI).
