Long-term efficacy and safety of anticoagulation after atrial fibrillation ablation: data from the JACRE registry

Koichi Inoue et al.

Summary: The study focused on long-term anticoagulation strategies and clinical outcomes following catheter ablation in atrial fibrillation patients. Results showed a very low long-term incidence of thromboembolism in these patients, but the risk of major bleeding was not particularly low.

Prospective Randomized Evaluation of High Power During CLOSE-Guided Pulmonary Vein Isolation The POWER-AF Study

Jean-Yves Wielandts et al.

Summary: The study on patients with paroxysmal AF using a 45W radiofrequency power CLOSE protocol significantly increased global procedural efficiency with similar midterm efficacy. However, there was a narrower safety margin and limited efficiency increase at the posterior wall using high power, advocating against high power use near the esophagus.

Optimal interruption time of dabigatran oral administration to ablation (O-A time) in patients with atrial fibrillation: Integrated analysis of 2 randomized controlled clinical trials

Akira Kimata et al.

Summary: An integrated analysis of the RE-CIRCUIT and ABRIDGE-J trials showed that an oral administration to ablation time of 8-24 hours for dabigatran during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation was associated with fewer bleeding complications. This suggests that a dabigatran interruption time of 8-24 hours may be a suitable option, especially for low thromboembolic-risk patients.

Clinical significance of left ventricular reverse remodeling after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in patients with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Masato Okada et al.

Summary: This study investigated predictors and clinical outcomes of left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) after atrial fibrillation catheter ablation (AFCA) in patients with LV systolic dysfunction. The predictors of LVRR included non-paroxysmal AF and absence of apparent underlying structural heart disease. LVRR was associated with favorable clinical outcomes, including reduced frequency of persistent form of AF recurrence, heart failure hospitalizations, cardiovascular deaths, and all-cause deaths.
