The results of our study showed that CB-A for the treatment of PAF is a feasible and safe procedure in elderly patients, with similar success and complications rates when compared with a younger population.

The second-generation cryoballoon offers long-term freedom from PAF in 71.5% of treated patients with a single procedure without AADs on a 3-year follow-up period.

Many patients in the early recovery phase after an acute MI had J-waves. This ECG phenomenon was associated with an increased incidence of ventricular arrhythmias. The tachycardia-dependent augmentation of the J-wave amplitude suggested a mechanistic role of conduction delay.

US-guided venipuncture was associated with a near-to-zero risk of vascular complications in our patients undergoing CB ablation.
