Zero‐Fluoroscopy Ablation Methods for Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Central illustration. Schematic comparison of conventional fluoroscopy guided ablation (left) and zero fluoroscopy ablation (right), enabled by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac echocardiography for catheter navigation without X ray. The study selection process is summarized (133 records identified; 12 studies included, total n = 1998 ...

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

PR-segment deviation during cryoballoon ablation [PDF]

Europace, 2010
Selective freezing of the left superior pulmonary vein during cryoballoon ablation (CA) in a patient with paroxysmal drug-refractory atrial fibrillation is shown ( Panel A ). At a minimal temperature of −45°C, a PR-segment elevation in Lead I …

Electrophysiology lab efficiency using cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in central and eastern Europe: A sub-analysis of the cryo global registry study

Cardiology Journal
BACKGROUND: Cryoballoon ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces procedure times, but limited data is available about its impact on electrophysiology (EP) lab efficiency in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE).

Documented Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Cardiometabolic Phenotype, and Rhythm‐Related Outcomes After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: An Observational Cohort Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Documented OSAS identified a higher‐risk cardiometabolic phenotype in patients undergoing AF ablation, including greater obesity, hypertension, diabetes, persistent AF, and adverse lipid markers. However, it did not independently predict post‐ablation rhythm‐related outcomes in either the registry cohort or the actively followed cohort.

Radiofrequency or cryoablation or medical therapy for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: An indirect comparison of effectiveness

Journal of Arrhythmia
Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is commonly treated with pharmacological therapies, but these may be insufficient for symptom control. Radiofrequency and cryoballoon ablation have emerged as alternative strategies.

Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation in Very Elderly Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: Short‐ To Mid‐Term Outcomes From a Multicenter Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
Patients aged ≥ 80 years with atrial fibrillation underwent catheter ablation. At 2 years, the recurrence‐free survival rate was 85.8% in paroxysmal AF and 63.6% in persistent AF (p = 0.024), and periprocedural complications occurred in 12.0%, including severe complications in 3.3%.

Cryoballoon or Radiofrequency Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

New England Journal of Medicine, 2016
Current guidelines recommend pulmonary-vein isolation by means of catheter ablation as treatment for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency ablation is the most common method, and cryoballoon ablation is the second most frequently used technology.We conducted a multicenter, randomized trial to determine whether cryoballoon ...

Cryoballoon ablation of focal atrial tachycardia originating from right atrial appendage: Case report and review of the literature

Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal, 2019
The right atrial appendage (RAA) is a rare site of focal atrial tachycardia (AT). Sometimes, catheter ablation cannot successfully be accomplished at this location due to the difficulty in reaching the exact ablation site as well as the associated ...
