AFib may go away for a long time, but it can return. It’s rare, but if you have persistent or chronic AFib, you might need a second ablation within 1 year. If you’ve had AFib for more than a year, you may need one or more treatments to fix the problem. If your symptoms come...
Catheter ablation for AF is underused in patients with cancer because of a perceived risk for downstream complications associated with exposure to potentially cardiotoxic and proarrhythmic agents. This study argues against such concerns, demonstrating that catheter ablation is an effective and safe approa...
Pulsed field ablation (PFA), a technology now approved in Europe but not yet licensed in the United States, achieved noninferiority to conventional thermal ablation for the treatment ofatrial fibrillation(AF) in a head-to-head trial, an outcome that might favor PFA in the context of other con...

“With afib cases expected to rise continuously, Abbott's Volt PFA system meets a growing demand for a more innovative solution that reduces the patient procedure time and overall hospital stay, getting them back to living a fuller, longer life,” Piorkowski added. ...
Protocol Title: Dual Epicardial & Endocardial Procedure (DEEP) approach for treatment of subjects with persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (Afib) with radiofrequency (RF) ablation Study Design: Prospective, multicenter, single arm, pivotal study Objectives: Establish the safety an...
Sex Differences in Ablation Strategy, Lesion Sets, and Complications of Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation: An Analysis From the GWTG-AFIB Registry 2021, Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Procedural Feasibility and Long-Term Efficacy of Catheter Ablation of Atypical Atrial Flutters in a...
in patients undergoing their first AFib catheter ablation procedures. However, patients with a history of congestive heart failure were associated with major complications. Similarly, data showed older age and a history of vascular disease were associated with stroke and vascular compli...
Esophageal Injury and Progression to Atrial-Esophageal Fistula in Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation Purpose of Review Atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) is one of the most dreaded complications of atrial fibrillation (AFib) catheter ablation (CA) associated wi...

AFib can progress, leading to serious complications like blood clots, stroke and heart failure. Studies have shown that early cardiac ablation in patients with paroxysmal AFib (occasional AFib) can reduce the risk of recurrence and lower the chances of heart failure or stroke compared to later int...
