Cryoablation for atrial fibrillation.

Heart Rhythm O2
Jason G Andrade

Abstract

Cryoballoon ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation has established itself as an effective and efficient modality for achieving pulmonary vein isolation. Over the past 13 years more than 100,000 Cryoballoon ablation procedures have been performed with the first to fourth generation cryoballoons. Over that time there have been significant advances in our understanding regarding the optimal procedural techniques. The purpose of this "topic in review" is to focus on the practical aspects of performing a Cryoballoon ablation procedure, within the context of the contemporary literature. Specifically there is a focus on how contemporary studies can inform clinical decision making and ensure operators are able to perform a safe and effective procedure.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
