Cryoballoon ablation vs. antiarrhythmic drugs: first-line therapy for patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

, 2021
Aims: Treatment guidelines for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) suggest that patients should be managed with an antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) before undergoing catheter ablation (CA).

Catheter Ablation: Evolution and Efficiencies

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present review includes a discussion the goals and pitfalls of efficiency in the medical profession, a historical perspective on the evolution of catheter ablation in the field of electrophysiology (EP), and the data regarding the relationship between efficiency and outcomes in the EP lab. Focus on efficacy is critical to maximize resource

Implementation of a Standardized Nurse‐Guided Heparinization Protocol Improves Anticoagulation During Left Atrial Ablation Procedures

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
A standardized, nurse‐led heparinization protocol significantly improves the speed, consistency, and precision of achieving therapeutic ACT levels during left atrial ablation, while reducing excessive anticoagulation and maintaining a comparable safety profile to conventional operator‐guided dosing.

Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures Following Pulsed‐Field Ablation Versus Thermal Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: The PROMs‐PFA Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Pulsed‐field was associated with less early post‐procedural chest pain than thermal ablation. ABSTRACT Background Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) has transformed atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, but how the early patient experience compares with thermal techniques remains unclear.

Cryoballoon Isolation of the Superior Vena Cava

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2016
A 54-year-old woman was found to have recurrent tachycardia arising from her superior vena cava (SVC) during pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Application of cryotherapy to the junction between SVC and right atrium gave clear isolation of the SVC, with continued ...

Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Symptomatic Sick Sinus Syndrome: A Case Series

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), sinus node disease (SND) represents a potentially reversible concomitant condition. Initial treatment with catheter ablation (CA) aimed at restoration of sinus rhythm may provide an alternative to pacemaker implantation. In this case series, 15 elderly patients (>65 years) with AF and SND underwent CA,

Comparison of the PolarX and the Arctic Front cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (COMPARE CRYO) – Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial [PDF]

, 2023
INTRODUCTION Single-shot devices are increasingly used for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF). The Arctic Front cryoballoon (Medtronic) is the most frequently used single-shot technology.
