Cryoballoon ablation in atrial fibrillation: Advantages and drawbacks
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

Salvage Cryoballoon Ablation After Non-Curative Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection: The First Case Report on T1bN0M0 Esophageal Adenocarcinoma [PDF]
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]
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 for atrial fibrillation: Effects on neuromodulation
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]
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.
