Aim Cryoballoon ablation (Cryoballoon) has emerged as a new alternative for the treatment
of symptomatic drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether the results of Cryoballoon are …

Aims Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), the standard for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, is most
commonly applied with radiofrequency (RF) energy, although cryoballoon technology …

Background Although radiofrequency (RF) ablation has long been the standard of care for
atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation, cryoballoon technology has emerged as a feasible approach …

Background Current guidelines recommend pulmonary-vein isolation by means of catheter
ablation as treatment for drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency …

Background In patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation that has not
responded to medication, catheter ablation is more effective than antiarrhythmic drug …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety outcomes of
the treatment with cryoballoon (CB) compared to the treatment with traditional irrigated …

German Ablation RegistryDifferent Energy Sources in AF Ablation Background Catheter
ablation is used extensively with curative intention in atrial fibrillation. Radiofrequency …

Aims Long-term efficacy following cryoballoon (CB) ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains
unknown. This study describes 5 years follow-up results and predictors of success of CB …

Aims Radiofrequency (RF) ablation represents a standard of care for pulmonary vein
isolation in patients with drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). In this setting …
