Characterization of superresponders to cryoballoon ablation [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2021
Abstract Background Isolation of pulmonary veins is the cornerstone in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation rather with radiofrequency or cryo balloon. Recurrence rate is quite common in the long term follow up, clearly related to previosly described factors.

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 ...

Balancing safety and efficacy of cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2020
Over the past decade, cryoballoon therapy has evolved into a well-recognized and recommended ablation method to perform pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF)1.

Thawing plateau time indicating the duration of phase transition from ice to water is the strongest predictor for long-term durable pulmonary vein isolation after cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation—Data from the index and repeat procedures

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
IntroductionThis study aimed to clarify the relationship between the durability of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and the time of phase transition from ice to water indicated by thawing plateau time in a cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF ...

Safety and Efficacy Using the Second-Generation Cryoballoon in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and a Common Ostium of Inferior Pulmonary Veins

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Common ostium of inferior pulmonary veins (COIPV) is a kind of pulmonary vein variation. The safety and efficacy of COIPV isolation using the second-generation cryoballoon (CB) ablation remain unknown.Methods: A total of 10 patients with ...

Biophysics of the Second-Generation Cryoballoon [PDF]

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2015
Current guidelines recommend antral isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV) as the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation ablation.1 Although conventional radiofrequency energy has traditionally been used with a point-by-point approach, cryoablation has emerged as a viable alternative to radiofrequency energy.
