Hemolysis and Renal Outcomes After Pulsed Field Versus Thermal Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Evaluate the comparative risk of hemolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI) with pulsed field ablation (PFA) versus thermal ablation (TA) for atrial fibrillation. Methods Databases were searched through June 2025 for comparative studies reporting hemolysis markers or renal outcomes.

A multicenter study comparing the outcome of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation between cryoballoon and radiofrequency ablation in patients with heart failure (CRABL‐HF): Study design

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
Background Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly performed worldwide in patients with heart failure (HF). However, it has been recently emphasized that AF ablation in patients with HF is associated with increased risks of ...

NT‐proBNP as a Predictor of Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon, Radiofrequency and Pulsed‐Field Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central Illustration: In a study investigating AF recurrence after PVI with RFA, CBA, and PFA, elevated NT‐proBNP emerged as a strong predictor of recurrence within the first year, outperforming other clinical measures. Color‐coded recurrence‐free survival probability charts derived from these data are proposed to support individualized clinical ...

Shorter cryoballoon applications times do effect efficacy but result in less phrenic nerve injury:Results of the randomized 123 study [PDF]

, 2019
Background The second-generation cryoballoon significantly improves outcome of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) but may cause more complications than the first generation. Currently, no consensus regarding optimal cryoballoon application time exists.

Modified hockey stick maneuver utilizing a steerable cryoballoon catheter for left inferior pulmonary vein isolation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2019
Successful cryoballoon pulmonary vein (PV) isolation sometimes requires cryoballoon occlusion techniques including a hockey stick maneuver (HSM) using a steerable sheath, whose steerable segment should be positioned in the left atrium (LA) for left ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Early Rhythm Versus Rate Control in Older Adults With New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation: A Propensity Score–Matched Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In a large propensity score–matched real‐world cohort of older adults with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation, early rhythm control was associated with lower thromboembolic and bleeding risk but higher mortality and arrhythmic complications compared with rate control.
