Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation vs Antiarrhythmic Drugs as Initial Therapy for Management of Symptomatic Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Background: Catheter ablation is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), primarily performed in patients who fail antiarrhythmic drugs. Whether early catheter ablation, as first-line therapy, is associated with improved clinical outcomes ...

Safety of conscious sedation in electroanatomical mapping procedures and cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation

, 2020
Immobilization of patients during electrophysiological procedures, to avoid complications by patients’ unexpected bodily motion, is achieved by moderate to deep conscious sedation using benzodiazepines and propofol for sedation and opioids for analgesia.

Vagal response during pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon ablation [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Vagal nerve response, seen during cryoballoon ablation of the pulmonary veins, can be attributed to the ablation’s effect on the ganglionated plexi. This effect is demonstrated with drops in blood pressure and heart rate during pulmonary vein
