Association Between Temperature Management Using Passive Thermal Insulation and a Modified Aldrete Score During Cryoablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Under General Anesthesia

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
This study demonstrated that the Δ in core temperature was significantly lower in the Blanket (blue bar) group than in the Control (red bar) group and the passive thermal insulation using heat insulation blankets significantly decreased the rate of hypothermia‐induced unsuccessful early recovery from general anesthesia from 64% to 37%.

Left Atrial Function Post Radiofrequency and Cryoballoon Ablation Assessed by Volume-Pressure Loops

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundLeft atrial (LA) function is linked to atrial fibrillation (AF) pathogenesis. AF catheter ablation decreases disease burden with potentially favorable effects on cardiac function.

Clinical Vulnerability Refines Rhythm‐Related Outcomes in Older Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation: An Observational Cohort Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
In patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation, age ≥ 75 years was associated with greater recurrence‐related rhythm intervention. However, outcomes varied markedly among older adults. A simple score incorporating persistent AF, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and valve disease identified elderly patients with low or high clinical vulnerability.

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).

Hemoglobin Levels as a Marker of Arrhythmia Recurrence After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Lower hemoglobin levels are associated with increased arrhythmia recurrence after radiofrequency ablation but not cryoballoon ablation. The stronger association in patients with non‐paroxysmal AF suggests that low hemoglobin may reflect an adverse atrial substrate rather than a procedural effect.

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.

Moving Air in the Esophagus During Cryoballoon Ablation [PDF]

Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management, 2019
A 56-year-old male patient underwent cryoballoon ablation for symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Massive air movement reminiscent of an air esophagram was detected during cryoballoon application in the right superior pulmonary vein. In this case report, we sought to consider all possible explanations of this finding.

Anaesthetic Techniques for Cardiac Ablation—A Scoping Review

Acta Anaesthesiologica Scandinavica, Volume 70, Issue 9, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation, have rising prevalence and represent a growing global health burden. Catheter ablation is a commonly used treatment demanding sedation or anaesthesia for comfort, stability and safety. Anaesthetic techniques vary globally, and the optimal strategy has yet to be determined.

Long‐Term Outcome After Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Across an Atrial Septal Defect Closure Device: A 20‐Month Follow‐Up Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Balloon‐assisted transseptal puncture across a large atrial septal defect closure device can permit pulsed‐field ablation in selected patients with complex septal anatomy, achieving durable pulmonary vein isolation and sinus rhythm. A borderline residual left‐to‐right shunt developed post‐procedure but decreased on serial imaging without ...
