TLDR
The STOP AF trial demonstrated that cryoballoon ablation is a safe and effective alternative to antiarrhythmic medication for the treatment of patients with symptomatic paroxysmal AF, for whom at least one antiarrHythmic drug has failed, with risks within accepted standards for ablation therapy.About:
