Cryoballoon ablation in obese patients can be effective with an acceptable safety profile, 77% of patients were in stable SR at 1 year. Severe obese patients (BMI ≥ 35) showed reduced procedural safety and 1-year success rate. In association with life style modification, CB ablation may represent a strategy to enhance rhythm control in the context of obesity.
