Cryoablation for paroxysmal and persistent AF in patients with structural heart disease and preserved ejection fraction: Clinical outcomes from 1STOP, a multicenter observational project.

CONCLUSIONS: In a large multicenter, real-world cohort, CB-PVI was used to treat patients with PAF and PerAF who also had SHD. The arrhythmia recurrence after a single procedure was not related to either the degree of cardiac structural remodeling or the type of AF, and the rate of AF recurrence was lower than previously reported in patients with SHD in other cohort series using focal radiofrequency catheter ablation.
