We present a clinical case on cryoballoon ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. This is a report of the first case performed at our center using this new technology.
متن کاملBreakage of a Circular Catheter Wedged in a Right Pulmonary Vein during Cryoballoon Pulmonary Vein Isolation
A 50-year-old man with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) using a cryoballoon. During the PVI procedure, a circular diagnostic catheter (CDC) was wedged deeply into the right PV (RPV). The lung tissues seemed to be tightening around the CDC. After various attempts to resolve the situation, the shaft of the CDC was completely torn, and the circular part remai...
متن کاملConjoined Inferior Pulmonary Veins during Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Prevalence and Novel Approach for Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Cryoballoon.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy is an established treatment modality in heart failure. Though non-response is a serious issue. To address this issue, a good understanding of the electrical activation during left bundle branch block, biventricular, as well as right- and left ventricular pacing is needed. This way by interpreting the 12-lead electrocardiogram, possible reasons for suboptimal tr...
متن کاملSpastic occlusion of coronary artery during cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation
Introduction Recently, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with cryoballoon (CB) has been widely accepted as treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Especially, second-generation CB (Arctic Front Advance, Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, MN) has a high cooling effect, which can achieve durable lesions of pulmonary vein (PV) antrum and better clinical outcomes. On the other hand, several complications, s...
متن کاملFirst-line catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: outcome of radiofrequency vs. cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation.
AIMS First-line ablation prior to antiarrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy is an option for symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF); however, the optimal ablation technique, radiofrequency (RF), or cryoballoon (CB) has to be determined. METHODS AND RESULTS The FREEZE Cohort Study compares RF and CB ablation. Treatment-naïve patients were documented in the FREEZEplus Registry. Periprocedural...
