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 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

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 ...

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 ...

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 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.

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 ...

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
