or cold (cryoablation) are then used to ablate (destroy) tissue to create scarring to stop the abnormal signaling pathway. While catheter ablation has the potential to cure AFib, complications may ...

The California Technology Assessment Forum (CTAF) was asked to assess the evidence for cryoballoon catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. This topic is being reviewed now ...

Hospital length of stay, hospital costs, and opioid use were reduced among patients who underwent cryoablation during ...

It joins radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation as the preferred treatments for atrial fibrillation. "I think the safety profile of PFA is significantly better," Uradu said. Even with the ...

Unlike conventional radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation for atrial fibrillation, PFA relies on microsecond-scale, high-voltage electrical fields to induce cardiac cell death to isolate the ...

New research shows that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to close congenital patent foramen ovale (PFO, a small hole in the heart) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF ...

Physicians also expect greater use of Johnson & Johnson’s Varipulse system over the next two years despite the company’s ...

Cardiac ablation has emerged as a transformative medical procedure for patients struggling with irregular heart rhythms particularly atrial fibrillation AFib By targeting and eliminating problematic a ...

Data from a Japanese registry may be useful for characterizing frailty among older patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF), possibly opening the door to better treatment decisions and ...
