Cryoballoon ablation of the left atrial posterior wall reduces recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Background This study aimed to clarify the clinical outcomes of cryoballoon ablation of the left atrial (LA) posterior wall (LAPW), including the LA roof, in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).

Amplified sinus-P-wave analysis predicts outcomes of cryoballoon ablation in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: A multicentre study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionOutcomes of catheter ablation for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) remain suboptimal. Non-invasive stratification of patients based on the presence of atrial cardiomyopathy (ACM) could allow to identify the best responders to pulmonary

A Second Cryoballoon System- new and improved? [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Generations of cryoballoon transformed the atrial fibrillation ablation landscape. New advancements continue to make cryoballoon more successful and safer treatment. A new cryoballoon PolaRx from Boston Scientific has unique features compared to that of the Medtronic Arctic Front Advance system. Comparison of the two available cryoballoons will require

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 ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Brugada Syndrome and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. In addition, patients with BrS with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) might experience inappropriate shocks for fast ...

Eccentric scar formation around a pulmonary vein after cryo-balloon ablation in a patient with atrial fibrillation: A case report

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
The impact of a cryoballoon ablation is reported to be similar to that of a radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) could visualize the scar region induced by the ...

Risk of atrioesophageal fistula with cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation

Heart Rhythm O2, 2020
Background: Although there are considerable data on the safety of cryoablation, data on the rare but severe complication of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) following cryoballoon ablation are limited. Objective: To report the global, user-reported incidence

Supplemental Radiofrequency Ablation After Acutely Unsuccessful Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation is Associated With Increased Risk of Recurrent Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Cryoballoon (CB) ablation is widely performed for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Anatomic variations in patient pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy are believed to impact short‐ and long‐term procedural ...
