Local catheter impedance drop during pulmonary vein isolation predicts acute conduction block in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: initial results of the LOCALIZE clinical trial

Europace, 2021
Aims Radiofrequency ablation creates irreversible cardiac damage through resistive heating and this temperature change results in a generator impedance drop.

Bigeminal Pulmonary Vein Ectopy Suppressed by Pulmonary Vein Isolation

International Heart Journal, 2008
A 58-year-old man with atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI). Bigeminal atrial premature beats persisted from the beginning of the PVI. The cardiac recordings from a basket catheter (BC) revealed the PV ectopic origin in the distal right superior PV.

Characteristics of Phrenic Nerve Injury During Pulmonary Vein Isolation Using a 28‐mm Second‐Generation Cryoballoon and Short Freeze Strategy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe reported incidence of phrenic nerve injury (PNI) varies owing to different definitions, balloon generations, balloon size, freezing regimen, and protective maneuvers.

The adjunctive effect for left pulmonary vein isolation of vein of Marshall ethanol infusion in persistent atrial fibrillation

Europace, 2022
Objective This study sought to assess the effect of ethanol infusion into the vein of Marshall (EIVOM) on the acute success of left pulmonary vein (LPV) isolation in persistent atrial fibrillation (PeAF).

Radiofrequency Versus Cryoballoon Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: Durability of Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Effect on Atrial Fibrillation Burden

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2021
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: Recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation is presumably caused by failure to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

Characterization of circumferential antral pulmonary vein isolation areas resulting from pulsed-field catheter ablation

Europace, 2022
Aims The cornerstone of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) is a wide-area circumferential ablation (WACA) resulting in an antral PVI area. Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a new nonthermal ‘single-shot’ PVI technique resulting in well-characterized ...
