Epicardial Connection as a Resource of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Pulsed Field Ablation: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT This case highlights an uncommon but clinically important mechanism of atrial fibrillation recurrence after Pulsed field ablation. It emphasizes the importance of ablation along the ridge during the first session and also the need for careful evaluation of epicardial conduction, particularly in patients with a left common pulmonary vein.

Association Between the Change in Interleukin‐6 Levels and Early Recurrence of Atrial Fibrillation: A Comparison of Pulsed Field Ablation and Radiofrequency Ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Despite causing greater myocardial injury and hemolysis, pulsed field ablation induces significantly less systemic inflammation than radiofrequency ablation. This reduced inflammatory response is independently associated with a lower incidence of early atrial fibrillation recurrence.

Second-generation cryoballoon ablation for recurrent atrial fibrillation after an index cryoballoon procedure: a staged strategy with variable balloon size [PDF]

Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology, 2018
Currently, information on the optimal approach of redo procedures for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is limited. Radiofrequency ablation is the preferred technique, with reported success rates of 50-70% at 1-2 years, whereas only few reports exist on redo cryoballoon (CB) ablations.

Association Between Temperature Management Using Passive Thermal Insulation and a Modified Aldrete Score During Cryoablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Under General Anesthesia

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study demonstrated that the Δ in core temperature was significantly lower in the Blanket (blue bar) group than in the Control (red bar) group and the passive thermal insulation using heat insulation blankets significantly decreased the rate of hypothermia‐induced unsuccessful early recovery from general anesthesia from 64% to 37%.

Cryoballoon Ablation for Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Results From the Korean Cryoballoon Registry

Korean Circulation Journal
Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is considered an effective rhythm control treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) and is increasing exponentially. However, data regarding the efficacy and safety of CBA in elderly patients are limited.A total of 2,652 patients (55.2% with non-paroxysmal AF) from the Korean CBA registry database with follow-up of ≥12-months ...

Clinical Vulnerability Refines Rhythm‐Related Outcomes in Older Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation: An Observational Cohort Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
In patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation, age ≥ 75 years was associated with greater recurrence‐related rhythm intervention. However, outcomes varied markedly among older adults. A simple score incorporating persistent AF, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and valve disease identified elderly patients with low or high clinical vulnerability.

Hemoglobin Levels as a Marker of Arrhythmia Recurrence After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Lower hemoglobin levels are associated with increased arrhythmia recurrence after radiofrequency ablation but not cryoballoon ablation. The stronger association in patients with non‐paroxysmal AF suggests that low hemoglobin may reflect an adverse atrial substrate rather than a procedural effect.

Haemoptysis and pulmonary haemorrhage associated with cryoballoon ablation: [PDF]

Europace, 2015
A 55-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by cryoballoon of drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation was performed with a 28 mm cryoballoon. The patient was anti-coagulated with iv heparin and the activated clotting time was …

Relationship between serum osteopontin level and atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients undergoing cryoballoon catheter ablation

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2017
Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Atrial fibrosis augments recurrence rate following AF catheter ablation.

Electrophysiology lab efficiency using cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in central and eastern Europe: A sub-analysis of the cryo global registry study

Cardiology Journal
BACKGROUND: Cryoballoon ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces procedure times, but limited data is available about its impact on electrophysiology (EP) lab efficiency in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).
