Cryoballoon ablation of left atrial roof with a novel cryoballoon system

European Heart Journal, 2022
Abstract Introduction A novel cryoballoon system (POLARx) has emerged and its efficacy regarding pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been already investigated. On the other hand, cryoballoon ablation of left atrial (LA) roof has been performed using a conventional cryoballoon system (Arctic Front ...

Cryoballoon ablation versus radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017
Catheter ablation (CA) provides the most effective treatment option for patients suffering from symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). The procedural cornerstone of all ablation strategies and for all entities of AF is the electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV).

Cryoballoon ablation for pulmonary vein isolation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2020
AbstractOver the past 20 years, multiple studies have demonstrated the superiority of percutaneous catheter‐based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). Unfortunately, the results of catheter ablation can be limited by arrhythmia recurrence, which is often a result of a failure to achieve durable lesions around ...

The impact of early cryoballoon ablation on clinical outcome in patients with atrial fibrillation: From the Korean cryoballoon ablation registry

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2023
AbstractIntroductionInfluence of early atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, particularly cryoballoon ablation (CBA), on clinical outcome during long‐term follow‐up has not been clarified. The objective was to determine whether an early CBA (diagnosis‐to‐ablation of ≤6 months) strategy could affect freedom from AF recurrence after index CBA.MethodsThe ...

Cryoballoon ablation beyond paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2019
Although radiofrequency-based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) was considered the 'gold standard' for the treatment of atrial fibrillation for a long time, the cryoballoon has turned out to be a common alternative tool for atrial fibrillation ablation.

Recent advances in cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation

Expert Review of Medical Devices, 2019
Introduction: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), by catheter ablation, represents the current treatment for drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF). Nowadays cryoballoon (CB) is a recognized ablation method in patients with atrial fibrillation, mainly due to its ease of use, leading to reproducible and fast procedures.

Bronchial effects of cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation

Heart Rhythm, 2017
Damage to extracardiac structures, including the esophagus and phrenic nerve, is a known complication of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) during pulmonary vein (PV) isolation for atrial fibrillation (AF). Other adjacent structures, including the pulmonary bronchi and lung parenchyma, may be affected during CBA at the PV ostia.The purpose of this study was to

Cryoballoon atrial fibrillation ablation experience in Japan

Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2021
Purpose of review In Japan, cryoballoon ablation has been widely accepted and more than 70 000 patients have undergone pulmonary vein isolation using this novel technology since the introduction. This review focused on the current status of cryoballoon ablation in Japan and clarified the characteristics as compared to Europe ...

Cryoballoon ablation in the presence of a large occlutech device

Acta Cardiologica, 2017
A 66-year-old woman was referred for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation using the second generation cryoballoon due to drug refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) and intolerance for further amiodarone use...
