Cryoablation of atrial fibrillation in “very severe” obese patients (BMI ≥ 40): Indications, feasibility, procedural safety and efficacy, and clinical outcome (the ICE‐Obese Extreme)

Background Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) in very severe obese patients is challenging. Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) represents an effective rhythm control strategy. However, data in this patient group were limited. Methods Highly symptomatic AF patients with body mass index (BMI) ≥ 40 kg/m2 w...
