Zusammenfassung:	© The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2023 Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) has been increasingly used for atrial fbrillation (AF) ablation. The presence of pulmonary vein (PV) anatomical variants, particularly left common pulmonary trunk (LCPT), may limit the cryoballoon adaptability and performance. To evaluate the impact of the presence of LCPT in CBA, we compared the success, safety, and procedure characteristics in consecutive patients referred for a frst-ever PVI attempt, irrespective of AF type and PV anatomy.
