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 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

Cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation: Effects on neuromodulation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) represents the mainstay of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, and PVI with cryoballoon catheter (CB) ablation (CB-A) has proven to be as effective and safe as radiofrequency ablation (RF-A). Although AF is initiated by triggers arising from the pulmonary veins (PV) and non-PV foci, the intrinsic cardiac nervous system ...

Characterization of superresponders to cryoballoon ablation [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2021
Abstract Background Isolation of pulmonary veins is the cornerstone in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation rather with radiofrequency or cryo balloon. Recurrence rate is quite common in the long term follow up, clearly related to previosly described factors.

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy: From the Korean Cryoballoon Ablation Registry. [PDF]

Korean Circ J
Atrial fibrillation (AF) occurs in more than 20% of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients, further increasing the risk of stroke. Although radiofrequency catheter ablation in AF patients with HCM has been performed, data on cryoballoon ablation (CBA) in HCM patients are limited.

Cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2014
Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is the cornerstone of ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation. The majority of procedures are still performed using radiofrequency (RF) energy and a point-by-point ablation approach. Novel ‘single shot’ ablation tools with the aim of creating a circumferential lesion around the PVs with a single or a limited number of ...

Pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation: Does ablation technique influence outcome?

Indian Heart Journal, 2021
Background: Over the last 20 years various techniques have been developed striving for safer and more durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The three most commonly used tools are pulmonary vein ablation catheter (PVAC) and cryoballoon (‘single-shot ...

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.

Cryoballoon Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Octogenarians

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
