Acute and long-term efficacy of ablation index-guided higher power shorter duration ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation: A prospective registry

So-Ryoung Lee et al.

Summary: This study compared the efficacy of higher-powered ablation guided by ablation index (HPAI) with conventional-powered ablation guided by AI (CPAI) for pulmonary vein isolation in atrial fibrillation patients, finding that HPAI reduced ablation time by 41% and showed comparable acute and 1-year AF recurrence rates to CPAI.

Predictive value of atrial fibrillation during the postradiofrequency ablation blanking period

Hugh Calkins et al.

Summary: This study found that avoiding arrhythmia recurrence during the blanking period in AF patients undergoing catheter ablation is highly predictive of long-term success. Patients with early recurrence had a wider range of likely outcomes with longer-term follow-up.

Multi-catheter cryotherapy compared with radiofrequency ablation in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: a randomized clinical trial

Mark M. Gallagher et al.

Summary: The study compared the efficacy of multi-catheter cryotherapy and RF ablation in eliminating AF and restoring SR in patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation. The results showed that multi-catheter cryotherapy could restore SR in more patients faster, but long-term success rates were similar to RF ablation.

Safety and efficacy of cryoballoon ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal and persistent AF in a real-world global setting: Results from the Cryo AF Global Registry

Kyoung Ryul Julian Chun et al.

Summary: Cryoballoon ablation is a safe and effective treatment for atrial fibrillation, with high success rates in achieving freedom from AF/AFL/AT in patients with both paroxysmal and persistent AF. The Cryo Global AF Registry demonstrated that cryoablation may be used as an early intervention before antiarrhythmic drug failure, potentially preventing the progression of AF disease.
