Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, is
a chronic and progressive disorder characterized by exacerbations and remissions …

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with
considerable morbidity and mortality. Electrically isolating the pulmonary veins from the left …

During the first phase, progressive hypothermia results in a slowing of cellular metabolism.
Ion pumps lose transport capabilities, and the intracellular pH becomes more acidic. 10 In …

The aim of cryosurgery is to kill cells within a closely defined region maintained at a
predetermined low temperature. To effectively kill cells, it is important to be able to predict …

A time dependent three‐dimensional finite difference model of iceball formation about
multiple cryoprobes has been developed and compared to experimental data. Realistic …

The authors explain the development of a transcatheter cryoablation system, based on pre-
clinical experience. Cryoablation freezes tissue to destroy unwanted cells in a precise area …

A comprehensive computational framework to simulate heat transfer during the freezing
process in prostate cancer cryosurgery is presented. Tissues are treated as nonideal …

An inverse heat transfer approach for predicting the moving freezing front and the
temperature distribution inside tumors during cryosurgery is presented. By recording the …

Background: Our study aims to compare acute myocardial injury biomarker rise after atrial
fibrillation ablation performed with different technologies. Methods and Results: One …

Over the past 20 years, multiple studies have demonstrated the superiority of percutaneous
catheter‐based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF) …
