The efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) has been established, but the efficacy and safety of cryoballoon ablation (CBA) and pulsed field ablation (PFA) remain unclear. This retrospective cohort study included 223 patients with paroxysmal non-valvular AF and HFpEF who underwent their first AF ablation between January 2017 and December 2021 and were divided into RFA (n = 77), CBA (n = 127), and PFA (n = 19) groups. After a mean follow-up of 11.

Background: Cryoballoon ablation has been widely performed in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). In some challenging pulmonary veins (PVs), the procedure requires additional touch-up applications against the residual conduction gaps. It implies that there could exist difficult sites to cover with standard cryoballoon applications (CBAs), resulting in resistant conduction gaps (RCGs).

Article Synopsis
- Cryoballoon ablation is simpler than radiofrequency ablation and recent size-adjustable cryoballoons (SA-CBs) allow for more tailored treatment in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients.
- A study analyzed results from 510 AF patients treated by either experienced (E-group) or less experienced (LE-group) operators and found that while procedural safety and efficacy were similar, the E-group achieved better isolation rates, especially with larger balloons.
- The LE-group had a higher rate of pulmonary vein reconnection and slightly more complications, suggesting that operators with over 100 procedures had a significant advantage in mastering technique, particularly for right pulmonary veins.
Comparing pulsed field ablation and thermal energy catheter ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: a cost-effectiveness analysis of the ADVENT trial.

Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as an effective technology in the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objective: To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of PFA vs. thermal ablation from a US healthcare payer perspective using data from a randomized trial.
