Myocardial and Neural Damage due to Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Comparison of Pulsed Electric Field and Thermal Ablation

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 5, Page 618-625, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using thermal energy—radiofrequency (RF) or cryoablation (CRYO)—is associated with direct myocardial injury and collateral neural damage. In contrast, pulsed electric field (PEF) energy has emerged as a neural‐sparing alternative.

Pulmonary vein isolation with the cryoballoon technique in atrial fibrillation treatment: single centre experience

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2013
Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation with cryothermal energy is a recently introduced technique in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). It may reduce procedural times and serious complications associated with radiofrequency (RF) ablation.

Radiofrequency Ablation versus Cryoablation in the Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-Analysis

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2018
Background. Pulmonary vein isolation is commonly performed using radiofrequency energy with cryoablation gaining acceptance. We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials which compared radiofrequency versus cryoablation for patients with ...

Impact of Body Mass Index on the Outcomes of Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation: A European Observational Multicenter Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Outcomes of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) are variable and the predictors of success require further elucidation since the identification of correctable risk factors could help to optimize therapy. We aimed to assess the impact

CT angiography-derived three-dimensional pulmonary vein topography is related to the outcome after cryoballoon ablation

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundFollowing cryoballoon ablation, 20%–30% of the patients show recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) in long-term follow-up as a consequence of incomplete circumferential ablation lines.
