Early Rhythm Versus Rate Control in Older Adults With New‐Onset Atrial Fibrillation: A Propensity Score–Matched Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 3, June 2026.
In a large propensity score–matched real‐world cohort of older adults with newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation, early rhythm control was associated with lower thromboembolic and bleeding risk but higher mortality and arrhythmic complications compared with rate control.

A Comprehensive Assessment of Renal Function During and After Pulsed Field Ablation

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 1259-1267, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Acute kidney injury is an uncommon complication of pulsed field ablation (PFA). There is, however, limited empirical data on the dynamics of renal biomarkers apart from creatinine. Furthermore, no study to date has assessed creatinine at more than 24 h after the procedure. Methods Patients undergoing PFA for atrial fibrillation (AF)

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.

Vagal response in cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation and autonomic nervous system: Utility of epicardial adipose tissue location

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2017
Background: Mechanism and effects of vagal response (VR) during cryoballoon ablation procedure on the cardiac autonomic nervous system (ANS) are unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between VR during cryoballoon catheter ablation

Comparison of HEMOlysis Markers Among Three Pulsed Field Ablation Systems: HEMO‐PFA Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 6, Page 1249-1258, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel non‐thermal modality for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. While hemolysis is a known complication of PFA, comparative data among different systems remain limited. Methods We prospectively enrolled 150 consecutive AF patients undergoing ablation with one of three PFA systems ...

Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation for Atrial Arrhythmias in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients: A Single‐Center Experience

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, May 2026.
Catheter ablation for complex atrial arrhythmias in solid organ transplant recipients is feasible using contemporary techniques, with arrhythmia‐free survival and periprocedural complication rates comparable to matched non‐transplant controls. ABSTRACT Introduction Atrial arrhythmias are common among solid organ transplant recipients and independently ...

Initial Pre‐Clinical Evaluation of the Augmented Ultra‐Low Temperature Cryoablation Catheter for Ventricular Ablations

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 943-948, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Ultra‐low Temperature Cryoablation (ULTC) using nitrogen cryogen near its boiling temperature of −196°C is a novel cardiac ablation modality capable of producing titratable lesions with depth exceeding 10 mm and has been recently introduced for catheter treatment of drug‐refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT). The ablative action

Left Atrial Posterior Wall Functional Remodeling in Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation. A Pilot Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 980-988, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) is often targeted in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation due to its shared properties with pulmonary veins. However, substrate‐guided approaches using structural markers have shown inconsistent results.
