MRI-Detected Brain Lesions and Cognitive Function in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Left Atrial Catheter Ablation in the Randomized AXAFA-AFNET 5 Trial

Karl Georg Hausler et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of apixaban on brain damage in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) after ablation. The study found a high incidence of acute brain lesions in patients treated with apixaban or vitamin K antagonist after ablation, but they were not associated with cognitive function. However, chronic white matter damage was associated with cognitive function before and after ablation, especially with age. This suggests that uninterrupted oral anticoagulation during AF ablation is safe.

Emmanuel Ekanem et al.

Summary: This study investigated the real-world performance of the approved PFA catheter in a large cohort of unselected patients and found that PFA was effective for treating atrial fibrillation with a safety profile consistent with preferential tissue ablation. However, the occurrence of generic catheter complications highlights the need for continuous improvement in efficacy and safety.

Summary: This study successfully achieved atrial ablation in pigs using a novel PFA system, maintaining durable lesions in 99.8% of cases after a 30-day survival period. High-intensity PFA had no effect on the esophagus and phrenic nerve structure, while standard intensity radiofrequency ablation resulted in injury to these structures.

Jason G. Andrade et al.

Summary: In patients with symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, catheter cryoballoon ablation was associated with a significantly lower rate of atrial fibrillation recurrence compared to antiarrhythmic drug therapy. The ablation group also had better outcomes in terms of atrial tachyarrhythmia occurrence and atrial fibrillation burden.
