Phrenic nerve palsy during cryoballoon ablation of atrial fibrillation: a minor complication or a wolf in sheep's clothing? Insights on late arrhythmia recurrences from a propensity score-matched analysis
The present study showed that PNP, although typically reversible and without long-term sequelae, is associated with a significantly lower success rate of CB-A PVI and a higher risk of arrhythmia recurrences.
