Cryoballoon Catheter Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2011
Pulmonary vein isolation with catheter ablation is an effective treatment in patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation refractory or intolerant to antiarrhythmic medications. The cryoballoon catheter was recently approved for this procedure.

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

Is cryoballoon ablation preferable to radiofrequency ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation by pulmonary vein isolation? A meta-analysis.

PLoS ONE, 2014
ObjectiveCurrently radiofrequency and cryoballoon ablations are the two standard ablation systems used for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation; however, there is no universal consensus on which ablation is the optimal choice.

Headache during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Europace, 2015
Headache has been reported to occur during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). No study has systematically analysed this phenomenon.Twenty consecutive patients with symptomatic AF underwent cryoballoon ablation without sedation. Headache was evaluated before, during, and after the first cryoapplication in every pulmonary vein (PV) using ...

Cryoballoon Ablation as Initial Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation

New England Journal of Medicine, 2021
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. However, the safety and efficacy of cryoballoon ablation as initial first-line therapy have not been established.We performed a multicenter trial in which ...

Cryoballoon in atrial fibrillation ablation

Herz, 2012
Encouraging results of ablation therapy in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) have prompted changes in professional practice guidelines. The most recent European guidelines have suggested that ablation might be offered as first-line therapy in selected patients. Cryoballoon ablation is a promising technology in interventional AF therapy.

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Octogenarians [PDF]

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2020
A significant proportion of AF patients with advanced age are being treated in clinical practice. Cryoballoon ablation of AF, given its shorter procedure time and comparable efficacy to radiofrequency ablation, has rapidly become a commonly used tool for AF ablation. Data regarding the outcomes of cryoballoon ablation of AF in octogenarians are limited

Cryoballoon or Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
Current guidelines recommend pulmonary-vein isolation by means of catheter ablation as treatment for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is the most common method, and cryoballoon ablation is the second most frequently used technology.We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to determine whether cryoballoon ...

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

Case Reports in Gastroenterology, 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 ...

Cryoballoon ablation in atrial fibrillation: Advantages and drawbacks

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2017
Pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation ablation and is effective for preventing arrhythmias recurrences, especially in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. During the last years, cryoballoon ablation has emerged as an
