Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation as First-Line Treatment for Typical Atrial Flutter. [PDF]

, 2023
OBJECTIVE We aimed to compare cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with standard radiofrequency cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation as first-line treatment for typical atrial flutter (AFL).

Targeted Superior Vena Cava Isolation Combined With Pulmonary Vein Isolation Versus Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone Using Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Clin Cardiol
Cryoballoon‐based targeted superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) added to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improved 12‐month freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia compared with PVI alone (90.9% vs. 76.4%, p = 0.037) without increasing complications, supporting systematic SVC trigger assessment in atrial fibrillation ablation. ABSTRACT Background The superior

Segmental Non-Occlusive Cryoballoon Ablation of Pulmonary Veins and Extra-Pulmonary Vein Structures: Best Practices III [PDF]

, 2021
Although cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has been traditionally guided by pulmonary vein (PV) occlusion, there is evidence and growing interest in performing segmental, non-occlusive cryoballoon ablation to target not only large/common ...

Fluoroscopic Appearance of a Single-Wall Cryoballoon Breach During Pulmonary Vein Isolation

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
Cryoballoon ablation therapy is increasingly used for pulmonary vein isolation. Its safety and efficacy profile is comparable to that of radiofrequency ablation therapy. Double-wall cryoballoon breaches have been described in published reports.

Efficacy and safety of a novel cryoballoon ablation system: multicentre comparison of 1-year outcome.

, 2022
AIMS The aim of the study was to compare the 1-year efficacy and safety of a novel cryoballoon (NCB) ablation system (POLARx; Boston Scientific) for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) compared with the standard cryoballoon (SCB) system (Arctic Front ...

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

Positioning an ECG electrode to the dorsal side can record higher amplitude of CMAPs during cryoballoon ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
Purpose Phrenic nerve injury (PNI) is one of the important complications during cryoballoon (CB) ablation. Recording diaphragmatic compound motor action potentials (CMAPs) during CB ablation can predict PNI.
