Transesophageal echocardiography during pulmonary vein cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation.
We describe our first 20 cases of cryoablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Continuous procedural monitoring with TEE by a cardiologist and senior sonographer assists the electrophysiologist in performance of the cryoballoon procedure of AF. Previously using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) we have found TEE to have better overall procedural imagi...
متن کاملCryoballoon Ablation for Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Patients With Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: One-Year Outcome Using Second Generation Cryoballoon.
BACKGROUND Data regarding the freedom from atrial fibrillation (AF) in the follow-up of persistent AF patients is limited. The second-generation cryoballoon has better cooling properties compared with first-generation cryoballon. In this study, we aimed to assess the medium-term efficacy of second-generation cryoballoon in patients with persistent AF. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 100 patien...
متن کاملPulmonary vein stenosis after second-generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in paroxysmal 1 AF patients. In addition to a radiofrequency ablation catheter, a cryoballoon has been proven as an effective technology in PVI for AF. Recently several randomized trials have shown that cryoballoon ablation was noninferior to radiofrequency ablation with respect to ef...
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...
متن کاملCryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Focal point-by-point radiofrequency catheter ablation has shown considerable success in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. However, it is not without limitations. Recent clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that cryothermal ablation using a balloon catheter (Artic Front©, Medtronic CryoCath LP) provides an effective alternative strategy to treating atrial fibrillatio...
