Pulmonary vein isolation with the radiofrequency balloon catheter: a single centre prospective study

Alvise Del Monte et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the midterm clinical outcome and predictors of single-shot pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with a novel multielectrode radiofrequency balloon catheter (RFB). The study included 104 consecutive patients with a complication rate of 1%. At a mean follow-up of 10.1 months, the freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATas) was 82.9%. Specific cut-offs of impedance drop and temperature rise may be useful in predicting persistent single-shot isolation.

Summary: Pulmonary vein isolation with RF catheter ablation is an effective treatment for patients with paroxysmal AF. The HELIOSTAR multi-electrode RF Balloon catheter simplifies the ablation procedure. Adherence to baseline indicators is crucial for optimal electrode-tissue contact and RF Balloon positioning.

Feasibility and safety of left atrial posterior wall isolation with a new Cryoballoon technology in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation

Antonio Bisignani et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the feasibility and safety of a new cryoballoon ablation system in achieving pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial posterior wall isolation (LAPWI). The results showed that the novel system was comparable to the established system in terms of efficacy and safety.

Atrial Fibrillation Global Changes after Pulmonary Vein and Posterior Wall Isolation: A Charge Density Mapping Study

Luigi Pannone et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the changes in persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) induced by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrium posterior wall isolation (LAPWI) using non-contact charge density (CD) mapping. The results showed that PVI + LAPWI led to changes in AF activation patterns, with a significant decrease in rotational activity in the roof and posterior regions.

Cryoballoon ablation beyond pulmonary vein isolation in the setting of persistent atrial fibrillation

Vincenzo Miraglia et al.

Summary: Catheter ablation has been proven as a safe and effective treatment for drug resistant atrial fibrillation, with the main strategy in paroxysmal AF being the electrical isolation of pulmonary veins due to their pivotal role in pathogenesis. Non-paroxysmal AF, on the other hand, is a complex arrhythmia resulting from a combination of atrial remodeling and triggers often found outside pulmonary veins. In addition to pulmonary vein isolation, cryoballoon catheter ablation of non-pulmonary veins triggers is a novel and promising strategy for non-paroxysmal AF.

Long-term durability of posterior wall isolation using the cryoballoon in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation: a multicenter analysis of repeat catheter ablations

Arash Aryana et al.

Summary: Performing PVI + PWI with a 28-mm cryoballoon shows long-term durability in treating patients with persistent AF. LA diameter is a significant predictor for the need for adjunct radiofrequency ablation, while incomplete PWI patients typically present with an atypical flutter.

Arash Aryana et al.

Summary: The PIVoTAL trial aims to evaluate the acute and long-term outcomes of PVI alone versus PVI+PWI using cryoballoon in patients with symptomatic persAF. The study is designed to be double-blind until randomization post-PVI and will assess arrhythmia outcomes through routine electrocardiograms and ambulatory monitoring post-ablation.

Cryoablation or Drug Therapy for Initial Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation

Jason G. Andrade et al.

Summary: In patients with symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, catheter cryoballoon ablation was associated with a significantly lower rate of atrial fibrillation recurrence compared to antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The ablation group also had better outcomes in terms of atrial tachyarrhythmia occurrence and atrial fibrillation burden.

Sanghamitra Mohanty et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of isolation of pulmonary veins, left atrial posterior wall, and superior vena cava in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, with or without cardiovascular comorbidities. It found that patients with comorbidities had significantly earlier recurrence of atrial fibrillation.

Domenico G. Della Rocca et al.

Summary: Extending ablation strategy to the entire posterior wall may provide acceptable long-term arrhythmia-free survival for PerAF patients without inducible non-PV triggers, as approximately 70% of patients in this cohort had non-PV triggers, and eliminating these triggers significantly improved outcomes.

Domenico G. Della Rocca et al.

Summary: The study aimed to characterize clinical presentation, time course, diagnostic pitfalls, and outcomes of atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) post atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The results showed that patients typically experienced symptoms 21 days post ablation, with neurological abnormalities documented in about 75% of cases. Early contact with the treating electrophysiologist is crucial in preventing diagnostic delays and reducing mortality rates.
