Vagal Response and Cough Reflex During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Under Deep Sedation: A Comparison Across Pulsed Field Ablation Systems

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Cough reflex during pulsed field ablation was most frequent with PULSESELECT, while vagal response did not differ significantly among platforms. These device‐specific reflex profiles may guide sedation strategy and procedural preparedness. ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is increasingly used for atrial fibrillation (AF), but device ...

Anaesthetic Techniques for Cardiac Ablation—A Scoping Review

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 9, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, have rising prevalence and represent a growing global health burden. Catheter ablation is a commonly used treatment demanding sedation or anaesthesia for comfort, stability and safety. Anaesthetic techniques vary globally, and the optimal strategy has yet to be determined.

Cryoballoon Ablation for Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation Reports, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and induces cardiac dysfunction and stroke. The development of AF requires a trigger and also an electroanatomic substrate capable of both initiating and perpetuating AF.

A Comparison of Safety and Outcome Using Three Different Sedation Strategies During Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 10, Page 2393-2402, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging modality for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. However, adequate sedation of patients during treatment is imperative. Objective Our aim was to compare safety and outcome after deep sedation (DS) managed by electrophysiology staff (EP‐DS), DS by an anaesthesia nurse (AN‐DS), and general ...

Cryoballoon-Assisted Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Left Atrial Roof Ablation Using a Simplified Sedation Strategy without Esophageal Temperature Monitoring: No Notable Thermal Esophageal Lesions and Low Arrhythmia Recurrence Rates after 2 Years

Diagnostics
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is increasingly effective for managing heart rhythm but poses risks like esophageal fistulas. Minimizing esophageal thermal lesions while simplifying procedures is crucial.

Cryoballoon cardioneuroablation: New electrophysiological insights

Heart Rhythm O2
Cardioneuroablation (CNA) targeting ganglionated plexi has shown promise in treating vasovagal syncope. Only radiofrequency ablation has been used to achieve this goal thus far.The purpose of this study was to investigate the utility of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) of the pulmonary veins (PVs) as a potential simplified approach to CNA.We report our ...

Can We STOP AF With Cryoballoon Ablation?

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
We read with interest the paper by Packer et al. [(1)][1], which demonstrated lower recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) after cryoballoon ablation (CB), as compared with antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy.

Coronary artery dominance and atrial fibrillation recurrence after cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation

International Journal of the Cardiovascular Academy, 2019
Background and Aim: Catheter-based atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation primarily for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become a significant therapeutic alternative for symptomatic and drug-refractory AF patients. It is evident that AF time and left atrium
