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

open access: yesJournal 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%.

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

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

open access: yesJournal 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

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Contrast Dye ICE Cap Embolization Using the Third-Generation Cryoballoon

open access: yes, 2017
Cryoballoon ablation is a widely diffuse technology to perform paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation. The new generation cryoballoon catheters have been redesigned in order to improve the cooling capability.

Massive Left Atrial Thrombosis Shortly After Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation: Implications of Reduced Flow Dynamics Detected by Four‐Dimensional Flow Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
A large left atrial (LA) thrombus developed 5 days after repeated ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation despite uninterrupted anticoagulation. The thrombus formed at the previously ablated LA roof, where four‐dimensional flow magnetic resonance imaging later showed reduced regional flow velocity, suggesting that persistent local flow stagnation ...

Vagal Response and Cough Reflex During Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Under Deep Sedation: A Comparison Across Pulsed Field Ablation Systems

open access: yesJournal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Cough reflex during pulsed field ablation was most frequent with PULSESELECT, while vagal response did not differ significantly among platforms. These device‐specific reflex profiles may guide sedation strategy and procedural preparedness. ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is increasingly used for atrial fibrillation (AF), but device ...

Single-procedure outcomes and quality-of-life improvement 12 months post-cryoballoon ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation : results from the multicenter CRYO4PERSISTENT AF trial

open access: yes, 2018
Objectives: The CRYO4PERSISTENT AF (Cryoballoon Ablation for Early Persistent Atrial Fibrillation) trial aims to report long-term outcomes after a single pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)–only ablation procedure using the second-generation cryoballoon in ...
