Biatrial ablation vs. left atrial concomitant surgical ablation for treatment of atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis

摘要

Aims Surgical ablation performed concomitantly with cardiac surgery has emerged as an effective curative strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF). Left atrial (LA) lesion sets for ablation have been suggested to reduce procedural times and post-surgical bradycardia compared with biatrial (BA) lesions. Given the inconclusive literature regarding BA vs. LA ablation, the present meta-analysis sought to assess the current evidence.
