Event Description

Literature was reviewed regarding cryoballoon ablation in patients with and without heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (hfpef).The authors described patients who experienced procedure-related complications which consisted of postprocedural venous thrombosis near the puncture site and pericardial effusion without hemodynamically instability or need for intervention.All cases of pericardial effusion could be attributed to inflammatory reactions and regressed under anti-inflammatory medication.In the long term follow up period, there were patients who experienced unknown bleeding events, transient ischemic attack (tia), acute coronary syndrome, and the need for pacemaker implants.It is unknown if these events were related to the ablation procedures.The status of the catheters and sheaths is unknown.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
