Cryoballoon Ablation for Pulmonary Vein Isolation of Atrial Fibrillation: A Better Way to Complete the Circle?
Cryoballoon ablation has emerged as a novel tool to perform pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation. This balloon-based technology has the potential to simplify the procedure by creating continuous circumferential lesion sets with a limited number of energy applications. At the same time, electrophysiologists will encounter new challenges and pitfalls when performing cryob...
متن کاملCryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: a Comprehensive Review and Practice Guide
The cryoballoon was invented to achieve circumferential pulmonary vein isolation more efficiently to compliment the shortcomings of point-by-point ablation by radiofrequency ablation (RFA). Its efficacy and safety were shown to be comparable to those of RFA, and the clinical outcomes have improved with the second-generation cryoballoon. The basic biophysics, implemental techniques, procedural r...
متن کاملCryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation
2014 Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is the cornerstone of ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation. The majority of procedures are still performed using radiofrequency (RF) energy and a point-by-point ablation approach. Novel ‘single shot’ ablation tools with the aim of creating a circumferential lesion around the PVs with a single or a limited number of energy applications emerge. The currently...

AIMS To evaluate the effects of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in terms of feasibility, safety and success rate on a midterm follow-up period in septuagenarians undergoing ablation with the Arctic Front Cryoballoon for atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS We prospectively enrolled 21 patients aged 70 years or older (14 male; age 73 ± 2.5 years) elected to circumferential PVI with the...
متن کاملOne-year clinical outcome after pulmonary vein isolation using the second-generation 28-mm cryoballoon.
BACKGROUND The use of second-generation cryoballoon for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation has demonstrated encouraging acute and mid-term results. Long-term outcome data are not yet available. METHODS AND RESULTS Fifty patients (18 women; mean age, 61±11 years; mean left atrial diameter, 43±5 mm) with paroxysmal (36 of 50 patients; 72%) or short-standing...
