The other is to do catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation, where their pulmonary veins enter the left atrium, ... Those that have the typical cryoablation, about 51%.

The cumulative incidence of a recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia between day 91 and day 365 after ablation was 37.1% in the PFA group compared with 50.7% in the cryoablation group (between-group ...

Pulmonary-vein isolation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal ablation method with few adverse effects beyond the myocardium.

VIENNA, Austria—For patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), pulsed-field ablation with the Farapulse system (Boston Scientific) is as good as—and borderline better than—a cryoballoon for ...

Cryoablation and radiofrequency ablation, another AFib procedure cauterizing tissue around the pulmonary vein point by point, present a risk that doctors can inadvertently damage other organs like ...

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) undergoing ...

New research shows that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to close congenital patent foramen ovale ... (AF) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in a single procedure.

For patients undergoing catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), cryoballoon and radiofrequency catheters are both effective in achieving pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). And the ...
