Cryoballoon Ablation of the Left Common Pulmonary Vein Using a Size‐Adjustable Cryoballoon: A Comparative Study

Journal of Arrhythmia
ABSTRACT Background The efficacy of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) using a 28‐mm or 31‐mm cryoballoon for isolating the left common pulmonary vein (LCPV) remains poorly established. We aimed to evaluate procedural outcomes and long‐term follow‐up data of CBA for the LCPV using either POLARx with a ...

Cryoballoon ablation using the sheath‐in‐sheath technique in a patient with a tortuous common iliac vein

Clinical Case Reports
Key Clinical Message The sheath‐in‐sheath technique, utilizing a 15Fr cryoballoon delivery sheath inserted into a 25 cm 16Fr sheath, effectively navigates tortuous iliac veins during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation, ensuring safe delivery ...

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: From the Korean Cryoballoon Ablation Registry

Korean Circulation Journal
Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in more than 20% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, further increasing the risk of stroke. Although radiofrequency catheter ablation in AF patients with HCM has been performed, data on cryoballoon ablation (CBA) in HCM patients are limited.

Efficacy and safety of cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation for paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation: A comparison with radiofrequency ablation

PLoS ONE, 2022
Background Cryoballoon ablation was established as an effective and safe modality to achieve pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF). However, its role in persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) remains unclear.

Pulmonary vein capture is a predictor for long-term success of stand-alone pulmonary vein isolation with cryoballoon ablation in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundThe mechanisms of AF development and progression are still not completely understood. Despite the relative efficacy of ablation, the risk of AF recurrence is substantial, particularly in patients with persistent AF (perAF). At present we do not

A Rare Complication of Cryoballoon: Gastroparesis

International Journal of Clinical & Medical Imaging, 2014
Despite higher frequency of complications secondary to collateral nerve damage after radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), in the cryoballoon technique gastroparesis has not been clearly revealed yet. We presented a patient who developed severe gastroparesis during cryoballoon ablation.

Comparative analysis of left atrial size and appendage morphology in paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation patients

Journal of Arrhythmia
Purpose Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is effective in treating atrial fibrillation (AF), but outcomes are worse for persistent AF (persAF) patients than paroxysmal AF (PAF) patients.

Periprocedural complications after laser balloon ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation: An analysis using a nationwide claims database

Heart Rhythm O2
Background: Evidence regarding the periprocedural safety of laser balloon (LB) catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is scarce. Objective: We aimed to investigate the periprocedural safety of LB ablation for AF compared with that of either ...
