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

Intra-Procedural Three-Dimensional Rotational Angiography in Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: An RCT. [PDF]

Pacing Clin Electrophysiol
ABSTRACT Background The impact of various imaging techniques on the safety and outcomes of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains unclear. Intra‐procedural three‐dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) is the least used imaging method despite some benefits.

Cryoballoon Ablation Strategy in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Cryoballoon ablation is established for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). The objective was to evaluate CBA strategy in consecutive patients with persistent AF in the initial AF ablation procedure.Material

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).

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.

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 ...
