Impact of Carina Width on Re-Ablation Rate of Atrial Fibrillation After Primary Cryoballoon-Ablation. [PDF]

J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol
Right side carina width is associated with the incidence of reconnection of RPVs and re‐ablation. Increased left side carina width was associated with re‐ablation rate, but there was no association with reconnection of the LPVs. ABSTRACT Background Reconnection of the pulmonary veins (PVs) is the primary cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) episodes after

Risk of atrioesophageal fistula with cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation

Heart Rhythm O2, 2020
Background: Although there are considerable data on the safety of cryoablation, data on the rare but severe complication of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) following cryoballoon ablation are limited. Objective: To report the global, user-reported incidence

Targeted Superior Vena Cava Isolation Combined With Pulmonary Vein Isolation Versus Pulmonary Vein Isolation Alone Using Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Clin Cardiol
Cryoballoon‐based targeted superior vena cava isolation (SVCI) added to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improved 12‐month freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia compared with PVI alone (90.9% vs. 76.4%, p = 0.037) without increasing complications, supporting systematic SVC trigger assessment in atrial fibrillation ablation. ABSTRACT Background The superior

Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2012
Focal point-by-point radiofrequency catheter ablation has shown considerable success in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, it is not without limitations.

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Through a Permanent Inferior Vena Cava Filter [PDF]

Clinical Case Reports
Ablation using a cryoballoon can minimize the number of sheaths passing through a permanent inferior vena cava filter (pIVCF). Cryoballoon ablation with only a few sheaths can be safely and efficiently performed via the usual femoral vein approach in ...

Salvage Cryoballoon Ablation After Non-Curative Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: The First Case Report on T1bN0M0 Esophageal Adenocarcinoma [PDF]

Reports
Background and Clinical Significance: Cryotherapy, particularly with the CryoBalloon Focal Ablation System (CbFAS), has emerged as a minimally invasive modality delivering targeted ablation through liquid nitrous oxide. While its role in treating Barrett’

Medical therapy, radiofrequency ablation or cryoballoon ablation as first-line treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: interpreting efficacy through restricted mean survival time and network meta-analysis [PDF]

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
When multiple treatments are available, network meta-analysis can evaluate data to rank the relative effectiveness. We applied this approach to first-line treatments for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (medical therapy, radiofrequency ablation or ...

Cryoballoon ablation of the left atrial posterior wall reduces recurrence of persistent atrial fibrillation in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Background This study aimed to clarify the clinical outcomes of cryoballoon ablation of the left atrial (LA) posterior wall (LAPW), including the LA roof, in patients with non‐paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).

Eccentric scar formation around a pulmonary vein after cryo-balloon ablation in a patient with atrial fibrillation: A case report

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2016
The impact of a cryoballoon ablation is reported to be similar to that of a radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation. Delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) could visualize the scar region induced by the ...
