MRI Detection of Left Atrial Ablation Lesions. Introduction: We tested the hypothesis that
cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging can reliably distinguish the presence or …

Predictors of AF Recurrence After Cryoballoon PVI. Introduction: In patients with atrial
fibrillation (AF) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation, cryoballoon technique (cryoPVI) has …

Background Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most commonly performed
electrophysiological procedure. To improve healthcare utilization, we aimed to compare the …

Recent clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that cryothermal ablation using a
balloon catheter (Artic Front®, Medtronic CryoCath LP, PointeClaire, Canada) provides an …

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein (PV) electrical isolation is a therapeutic option in atrial
fibrillation (AF). New technologies may reduce the complexity of the procedure. OBJECTIVE …

Introduction: Catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is widely used for patients
with drugrefractory paroxysms of arrhythmia. Recently, novel technologies have been …

Catheter ablation is an important treatment modality for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).
Although the superiority of catheter ablation over antiarrhythmic drug therapy has been …

Abstract Atrioesophageal Fistula Complicating Cryoballoon Pulmonary Although
atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) formation is a well known, albeit rare, catastrophic …

Background Cryoballoon technique is an innovative alternative to radiofrequency ablation
for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, with current cryoballoon application techniques, the …

Purpose The aim was to report procedural and technical differences of a novel cryoballoon
(NCB) ablation catheter for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) compared to the standard …
