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.

Simone Zanchi et al.

Summary: AI-guided high-power (50 W) ablation is a feasible, effective, and fast technique for AL and RL ablation. In the FPB group, female patients were significantly more frequent than non-FPB patients (p = .028); patients with non-FPB were associated with significantly longer RF time compared to patients with FPB (204 ± 47 s vs. 161 ± 41 s; p = .02).

Efficiency, Safety, and Efficacy of High-Power Short-Duration Radiofrequency Ablation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation

Xuerong Sun et al.

Summary: The HPSD approach in RFCA has gained increasing interest for its characteristics of delivering RF energy at high power and saving dwell time at each site, compared to conventional ablation. However, it remains unclear whether HPSD approach can bring significant changes and improve clinical outcomes.

Predictors of clinical success after paroxysmal atrial fibrillation catheter ablation

Jose Osorio et al.

Summary: In a study on CF-guided ablation for PAF, achieving first pass isolation was found to be highly predictive of 12-month clinical success. Recurrence within the 90-day blanking period was also independently predictive of long term success.

Comparison of In Vivo Tissue Temperature Profile and Lesion Geometry for Radiofrequency Ablation With High Power-Short Duration and Moderate Power-Moderate Duration: Effects of Thermal Latency and Contact Force on Lesion Formation

Hiroshi Nakagawa et al.

Summary: This study compared tissue temperature profiles, lesion sizes, and complications between different RF ablation parameters. The results showed that RF ablation with very high power and short duration (90W/4s) resulted in the smallest tissue temperatures and lesion sizes, while ablation with moderate power and longer duration (30W/30s) led to the largest outcomes. Additionally, RF applications at 90W/4s exhibited a longer thermal latency, indicating a significant portion of the lesion was created after RF termination.

The role of local impedance drop in the acute lesion efficacy during pulmonary vein isolation performed with a new contact force sensing catheter-A pilot study

Nandor Szegedi et al.

Summary: This pilot study evaluated the role of local impedance drop in lesion formation during pulmonary vein isolation, finding that a larger local impedance drop was associated with successful lesion creation. The optimal cut-off values for predicting successful lesion formation were 21.80 Ohms on the anterior wall and 18.30 Ohms on the posterior wall.

Roland Richard Tilz et al.

Summary: The study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the novel vHP-SD ablation mode for PVI, showing significantly shorter procedure duration and RF ablation time in the vHP-SD group compared to the control group. No periprocedural complications were observed during PV isolation.

Sergi Coderch-Navarro et al.

Summary: This study compared the electrical and thermal performance of standard and HPSD settings in RFCA, finding that HPSD may be more effective in cases requiring shallow and extensive thermal lesions, especially when the catheter is oriented at 0 degrees or 45 degrees.
