Cryoballoon ablation reduces PV automaticity retention compared to radiofrequency ablation in PAF
Ablation times differ but rhythm return looks the same for both methods
This RCT in 100 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation undergoing initial catheter ablation found that cryoballoon ablation (CBA) resu…
Two common heart rhythm procedures show similar success rates for stopping fast beats, even though one takes longer and uses more X-ray time…
Intraprocedural atrial tachycardia incidence and 12-month outcomes after RFCA for paroxysmal AF
Patients with atrial tachycardia during ablation have similar long-term rhythm success to others.
This single-center prospective cohort study of 255 patients undergoing RFCA for paroxysmal AF found an intraprocedural atrial tachycardia in…
Atrial tachycardia found during heart rhythm procedures does not predict worse long-term outcomes for patients undergoing treatment for paro…
Pulsed field ablation shows similar efficacy to radiofrequency ablation for paroxysmal AF
Is pulsed field ablation better for AFib? New study finds it matches standard treatment.
A multicenter RCT of 289 patients with drug-resistant paroxysmal AF found no significant difference in 12-month single-procedure success bet…
A new heart procedure for AFib works as well as the standard, with 77% of patients free from recurrence after a year and fewer serious event…
