A rare case of right heart failure with the necessity for veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation following pulmonary vein stenosis after radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation

Pulmonary Circulation, 2023
Pulmonary vein stenosis (PVS) after radiofrequency energy‐mediated percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation as a treatment option for atrial fibrillation is a serious complication and the prevalence in historical reports varies between 0% and 42%.

The established and the challenger: A direct comparison of current cryoballoon technologies for pulmonary vein isolation

Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2021
Cryoballoon (CB) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an effective treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, a novel cryoablation system was introduced.

Successful hot balloon ablation for focal atrial tachycardia derived from the left superior pulmonary vein antrum

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2020
A 45‐year‐old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) was admitted to our hospital for hot balloon ablation. At admission, atrial tachycardia (AT) was observed.

Prophylactic Cavotricuspid Isthmus Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation without Documented Typical Atrial Flutter: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review, 2022
Background: The advantage of prophylactic cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) ablation for AF patients without documented atrial flutter is still unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the role of prophylactic CTI ablation in this population.

Absence of first‐pass isolation is associated with poor pulmonary vein isolation durability and atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2021
Pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection is the main cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence. This study aimed to examine the effect of first‐pass PV isolation (PVI) on PV reconnection frequency during the procedure and on AF ablation outcomes.

How to perform pulmonary vein isolation [PDF]

EP Europace, 2004
The advent of technology for the delivery of radiofrequency energy via electrode catheters, in the late 1980s, led to the perfection of techniques for the ablation of accessory pathways and classical flutter [1–4]. This has been so successful that these substrates for arrhythmia are rarely seen in the Western world.
