Cryoballoon Ablation as Initial Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation
网页2020年11月16日 · In this randomized, multicenter trial, cryoballoon ablation was superior to antiarrhythmic drug therapy for the prevention of atrial arrhythmia recurrence in patients with paroxysmal atrial ...
Cryoablation for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation
网页Doctors perform cryoablation to restore normal heart rhythm by disabling heart cells that create an irregular heartbeat. During this minimally invasive procedure, a thin flexible tube called a balloon catheter is used to locate and freeze the heart tissue that triggers an irregular heartbeat.
Best Practice Guide for Cryoballoon Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation ...
网页2023年1月30日 · We now review the current best practices in an effort to drive consistent outcomes and minimize complications. PV isolation through CB is the most studied single-shot technique for atrial fibrillation ablation, having shown the potential to alter the natural history of the arrhythmia.
Cryoballoon Ablation as Initial Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation:
网页An initial treatment strategy of cryoballoon catheter ablation in patients with treatment-naïve AF has been shown to significantly improve arrhythmia outcomes (freedom from any, or symptomatic atrial tachyarrhythmia), produce clinically meaningful improvements in patient-reported outcomes (symptoms and quality of life), and significantly reduce ...
