Evaluating Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2008
Pulmonary vein isolation is the electrophysiological endpoint of complete conduction block at the level of the veno-atrial junction and must be explicitly distinguished from encircling PV ablation which frequently does not result in isolation.

Complications of Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2019
Since the cryoballoon (CB) was introduced into clinical practice, more than 400,000 patients have undergone a pulmonary vein (PV) isolation with a CB throughout the world. Although the efficacy of the first-generation CB was limited, the recently introduced secondgeneration CB has achieved a greater uniformity in cooling, which has facilitated a ...

Methods and techniques for increasing the safety and efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation [PDF]

Folia Medica, 2023
The most common type of sustained arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (AF). Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation, which has emerged as the primary therapeutic strategy for atrial fibrillation ...

Safety and Efficacy Using the Second-Generation Cryoballoon in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and a Common Ostium of Inferior Pulmonary Veins

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Common ostium of inferior pulmonary veins (COIPV) is a kind of pulmonary vein variation. The safety and efficacy of COIPV isolation using the second-generation cryoballoon (CB) ablation remain unknown.Methods: A total of 10 patients with ...

Additional Low‐Voltage‐Area Ablation in Patients With Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Results of the Randomized Controlled VOLCANO Trial

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background The efficacy of low‐voltage‐area (LVA) ablation has not been well determined. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of LVA ablation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation on rhythm outcomes in patients with paroxysmal atrial ...

The Minimum Number of Ablation Lines for Complete Isolation of the Pulmonary Veins during Thoracoscopic Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Life, 2023
Total thoracoscopic ablation has been recommended as a class IIa indication for atrial fibrillation. However, the optimal number of ablation lines for pulmonary vein isolation has not yet been proposed.

Emerging Technologies for Pulmonary Vein Isolation [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2020
Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. Electrically isolating the pulmonary veins from the left atrium by catheter ablation is superior to antiarrhythmic drug therapy for maintaining sinus rhythm, but its success varies depending on multiple factors, including ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Brugada Syndrome and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of Brugada syndrome (BrS) is challenging. In addition, patients with BrS with an implantable cardioverter‐defibrillator (ICD) might experience inappropriate shocks for fast ...

Rate‐dependent and unidirectional conduction block between the left pulmonary vein and left atrium after catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
A 77‐year‐old woman with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), but subsequently experienced recurrence.
