A Case of Gastroparesis after Cryoballoon Ablation followed by Medication-Induced Recovery within 6 Months [PDF]

, 2018
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and cryoballoon ablation was developed as a new treatment modality for symptomatic AF. Gastroparesis is rarely reported as a transient complication of ablation, and its frequency and risk ...

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

Incidence and Factors Associated With the Occurrence of Pulmonary Vein Narrowing After Cryoballoon Ablation

, 2017
Background— In contrast with traditional radiofrequency ablation, little is known about the influence of cryoballoon ablation on the morphology of pulmonary veins (PVs).

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-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.

An alternative method for phrenic nerve monitoring during cryoballoon procedures [PDF]

Background Cryoballoon ablation is associated with a consistent risk of phrenic nerve (PN) damage. Abdominal palpation associated with other strategies such as the diaphragmatic compound motor action potential (CMAP) has been shown to be an effective and

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.

Cryoballoon Ablation as Initial Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation.

, 2021
BACKGROUND: In patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation that has not responded to medication, catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drug therapy for maintaining sinus rhythm.

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
