The patient experienced significant diaphragm weakness during cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Initial steroid treatment provided partial recovery of diaphragm movement but was not fully successful by discharge.
Continuous monitoring of the phrenic nerve is crucial during cryoballoon ablation to detect complications early.
Follow-up showed stable condition despite incomplete recovery of diaphragmatic function post-procedure.
