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.

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 ...

Navigating the Zero Fluoroscopy Frontier: Current Tools, Evidence and Future Directions in Electrophysiology Procedures

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Graphical Abstract ABSTRACT Fluoroscopy has traditionally been the mainstay imaging technique for guidance during electrophysiology (EP) ablation procedures. The numerous disadvantages associated with radiation exposure for both operators and patients have created the need for zero‐fluoroscopy (ZF) approaches. Today, electrophysiologists have access to

Cryoballoon Versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Trials

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone achieves modest arrhythmia freedom in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF). Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) offers a single‐shot alternative to radiofrequency ablation (RFA) that streamlines procedural workflow.
