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 ...

Fluoroscopic Appearance of a Single-Wall Cryoballoon Breach During Pulmonary Vein Isolation

JACC: Case Reports, 2019
Cryoballoon ablation therapy is increasingly used for pulmonary vein isolation. Its safety and efficacy profile is comparable to that of radiofrequency ablation therapy. Double-wall cryoballoon breaches have been described in published reports.

ASSESSMENT OF CARDIAC AUTONOMIC DYSFUNCTION AFTER PULMONARY VEIN ISOLATION AND ITS IMPACT ON SUCCESS OF PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ABLATION. [PDF]

Ain Shams Medical Journal, 2019
Background: Atrial-fibrillation is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia and a significant public health issue. Recently,radiofrequency current ablation and cryoballoon ablation are frequently used for rhythm control in symptomatic paroxysmal AF patients

Long-term course of phrenic nerve injury after cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation

Scientific Reports, 2021
While phrenic nerve palsy (PNP) due to cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) of atrial fibrillation (AF) was transient in most cases, no studies have reported the results of the long-term follow-up of PNP.

Integrating the Left Atrium Diameter to Improve the Predictive Ability of the Age, Creatinine, and Ejection Fraction Score for Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Cryoballoon Ablation

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Several clinical trials have assessed predictors for atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon catheter ablation. With these predictors, a practical and new scoring system can be developed to evaluate atrial fibrillation recurrence.

Plasma protein profiling analysis in patients with atrial fibrillation before and after three different ablation techniques

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
BackgroundThere are controversies on the pathophysiological alteration in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation using different energy sources.ObjectivesWe evaluated the changes in plasma proteins in acute phase post ...

Incidence of Long-Term Pulmonary Vein Reconnection after a 2-Minute Cryoballoon Freeze for Pulmonary Vein Isolation—Invasive Insights of TTI-Dependent Cryoenergy Titration

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Introduction: The optimal freeze duration in cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is unknown. TTI-based titration of cryoenergy allows individualized freeze duration and has emerged as a favorable ablation strategy in PV cryoablation.

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

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 ...
