    The study analyzed 217 patients undergoing transcatheter ablation for atrial fibrillation between January 2022 and December 2023.

  • 2

    Age was assessed using three cutoffs (< 65, < 70, < 80 years) and as a continuous variable to evaluate procedural safety and outcomes.

  • 3

    No significant differences in early complications or arrhythmic outcomes were found across the predefined age cutoffs.

  • 4

    Multivariable logistic regression indicated that age was not independently associated with procedural safety or arrhythmic outcomes.

  • 5

    The findings suggest that chronological age alone may not determine ultra-early procedural outcomes in selected patients undergoing AF ablation.
