Mid-term outcome following second-generation cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation in heart failure patients: effectiveness of single 3-min freeze cryoablation performed in a cohort of patients with reduced left ventricular systolic function

Conclusion Second-generation CB-A of atrial fibrillation seems feasible and safe in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction and heart failure with mid-range ejection fraction, in terms of complications rate and number of applications per vein. All pulmonary veins could be isolated with the 28-mm cryoballoon advance only.
