Cryoballoon Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone achieves modest arrhythmia freedom in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF). Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) offers a single‐shot alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that streamlines procedural workflow.

Rising Comorbidity Burden in Inpatient Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation: Temporal Trends and In‐Hospital Outcomes

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Despite advancements in catheter ablation (CA) technique and expertise, success rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation have not substantially improved in recent years. Treating patients with advanced age and higher comorbidities may limit success rates while increasing complications.

Complications of Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation

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 ...

Innovative Therapeutic Endoscopy of the Upper Gastrointestinal Tract: Review of the Japan Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society Core Sessions

DEN Open, Volume 7, Issue 1, April 2027.
ABSTRACT The Japanese Gastroenterological Endoscopy Society (JGES) established four core sessions on endoscopic treatment for upper gastrointestinal diseases under the theme ‘Innovative Therapeutic Endoscopy’ between 2023 and 2024. This review summarizes these sessions and compiles them as a conference report. At the 105th JGES Core Session, 14 studies

Modified hockey stick maneuver utilizing a steerable cryoballoon catheter for left inferior pulmonary vein isolation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019
Successful cryoballoon pulmonary vein (PV) isolation sometimes requires cryoballoon occlusion techniques including a hockey stick maneuver (HSM) using a steerable sheath, whose steerable segment should be positioned in the left atrium (LA) for left ...

Gastric Hypomotility Unmasking a Phytobezoar After Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 6, December 2026.
After cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation, acute gastric hypomotility progressed to phytobezoar formation. The admission CT had already shown a mottled intragastric mass with entrapped gas, initially interpreted as retained food; when post‐ablation symptoms persist, clinicians should re‐examine the original imaging before escalating therapy.
