Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become an accepted therapeutic strategy for AF.1 The cryoballoon (CB) ablation system has been introduced into clinical practice as a tool for a single-shot anatomical based-PVI, and a comparable efficacy of the CB ablation to radiofrequency (RF) ablation has been demonstrated in a prospective randomised study.2–4
The recently introduced second-generation CB …

The most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia is AF, which is associated with increased risk of stroke and heart failure, and represents a significant global health burden.1 Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard treatment for symptomatic, drug resistant paroxysmal and persistent AF.2 Radiofrequency (RF) ablation, the most widely used ablation technique, aims to achieve circumferential…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in the clinical practice.1 The prevalence of the arrhythmia is progressively increasing in developed countries and moreover, it is expected to affect up to 12 million people only in the US by 2050.2 Antiarrhythmic drugs continue to represent the first-line of treatment in AF patients, either to restore sinus rhythm or to prevent…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1.5–2 % of the general population.1 In the current clinical guidelines, catheter ablation is recommended in addition to drug-based antiarrhythmic therapy for patients suffering from symptomatic, drugrefractory AF. However, catheter ablation, if performed at an experienced centre, may also serve as first-line therapy in…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained tachyarrhythmia. Catheter ablation is the most effective treatment for AF, and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of all AF ablation strategies. The use of a radiofrequency (RF) catheter in combination with a 3D electro-anatomical mapping system is the most well established approach to AF ablation. However, manipulating a RF…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia observed in clinical practice, occurring in approximately 2 % of the general population.1–3 A progressive increase in both the prevalence and incidence of AF has been demonstrated in recent years, defining AF as a major economic and public health issue.1
The identification of sites of AF initiation and/or maintenance within…

Catheter-based ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is an established treatment option for symptomatic patients who are refractory to drug-based treatment, as implemented in the latest guidelines for the management of AF.1 The accepted and recommended cornerstone of all ablation strategies for AF is electrical isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV).2 However, in addition to PV isolation (PVI),…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and the prevalence is increasing every year; it is expected to affect 12 million Americans by the year 2030.1 A significant portion of patients fail to maintain sinus rhythm with use of anti-arrhythmic drug therapy and are referred for catheter ablation. Ablation is currently indicated for patients with paroxysmal (class I) or…
