Assessment of sex-related differences and outcome in patients who underwent cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation: an observational cohort study

BMJ Open, 2022
Objectives Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is widely accepted as an effective and safe treatment for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on sex-related differences and associations with clinical outcome and safety of PVI with cryoballoon ...

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 ...

Haemoptysis and pulmonary haemorrhage associated with cryoballoon ablation: [PDF]

Europace, 2015
A 55-year-old male patient was referred to our hospital for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by cryoballoon of drug-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulmonary vein isolation was performed with a 28 mm cryoballoon. The patient was anti-coagulated with iv heparin and the activated clotting time was …

Periprocedural complications after laser balloon ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation: An analysis using a nationwide claims database

Heart Rhythm O2
Background: Evidence regarding the periprocedural safety of laser balloon (LB) catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is scarce. Objective: We aimed to investigate the periprocedural safety of LB ablation for AF compared with that of either ...

Cryoballoon Ablation for Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation Reports, 2020
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice and induces cardiac dysfunction and stroke. The development of AF requires a trigger and also an electroanatomic substrate capable of both initiating and perpetuating AF.

Implementation of a Standardized Nurse‐Guided Heparinization Protocol Improves Anticoagulation During Left Atrial Ablation Procedures

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
A standardized, nurse‐led heparinization protocol significantly improves the speed, consistency, and precision of achieving therapeutic ACT levels during left atrial ablation, while reducing excessive anticoagulation and maintaining a comparable safety profile to conventional operator‐guided dosing.

Patient‐Reported Outcome Measures Following Pulsed‐Field Ablation Versus Thermal Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: The PROMs‐PFA Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Pulsed‐field was associated with less early post‐procedural chest pain than thermal ablation. ABSTRACT Background Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) has transformed atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, but how the early patient experience compares with thermal techniques remains unclear.
