Concurrent vs Staged Hybrid Ablation for Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Propensity-Matched Cohort Study
Authors' conclusion
Both concurrent and staged hybrid ablation could be safely and effectively applied to treat LSPAF.
Study context
- Population
- Patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), December 2015 to December 2021matched 1:1
- Participants
- 104 patients
- Exposure
- Concurrent vs staged minimally invasive surgical-catheter hybrid ablation
- Outcome
- Freedom from AF or AT off antiarrhythmic drugs
- Follow-up
- 2 years after hybrid ablation
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
2 years
P = 0.390
Observational data: associations, not effects.
Further findings
- Intraprocedural AF termination (Concurrent) / AF or AT termination during staged catheter ablation (CA) (Staged) — Concurrent
- 86.5%
- Intraprocedural AF termination (Concurrent) / AF or AT termination during staged CA (Staged): Staged: all 52 underwent staged CA for recurrent AF or AT
