Safety and efficacy of cryoablation for atrial fibrillation in young patients: A multicenter experience in the 1STOP project

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an uncommon arrhythmia in young adults without structural heart disease, and cryoballoon pulmonary vein isolation (CB-PVI) is an important therapeutic strategy for rhythm control in patients with drug-refractory AF. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate efficacy and safety of CB-PVI in a large cohort of young patients in comparison with middle-aged adults in a real-world setting.
