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 ...

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.

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

, 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).

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

Cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014
Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is the cornerstone of ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation. The majority of procedures are still performed using radiofrequency (RF) energy and a point-by-point ablation approach. Novel ‘single shot’ ablation tools with the aim of creating a circumferential lesion around the PVs with a single or a limited number of ...

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.

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Octogenarians

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2020
A significant proportion of AF patients with advanced age are being treated in clinical practice. Cryoballoon ablation of AF, given its shorter procedure time and comparable efficacy to radiofrequency ablation, has rapidly become a commonly used tool for AF ablation. Data regarding the outcomes of cryoballoon ablation of AF in octogenarians are limited
