Adjunctive Left Atrial Posterior Wall Isolation in Treating Non-Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation: An Updated Meta-Analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.
Background: The clinical outcomes of adjunctive posterior wall isolation (PWI) beyond pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) remain unclear. This meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the role of PWI in non-paroxysmal AF by pooled analysis of most updated randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Methods: A literature search in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed to identify RCTs comparing the outcomes of PVI with and without PWI in non-paroxysmal AF patients. The primary outcomes were recurrence rates of all atrial arrhythmias, AF, and atrial tachycardia/flutter (AT/AFL). The secondary outcomes included total procedure time, ablation time, fluoroscopy time and procedure-related complications. Estimated risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were evaluated.
Results: Nine RCTs with a total of 1,243 non-paroxysmal AF patients were included in our analysis. There were no significant differences in all atrial arrhythmias recurrence (RR: 0.86, 95% CI: 0.66-1.11, p = 0.24, I2 = 49%) and AF recurrence (RR: 0.74, 95% CI: 0.51-1.08, p = 0.12, I2 = 62%) between stand-alone PVI group and PVI plus PWI group. Adjunctive PWI increased the AT/AFL recurrence rate (RR: 1.62 95% CI: 1.08-2.42, p = 0.02, I2 = 0%). In the subgroup analysis, PWI using cryoballoon ablation was associated with a significantly lower recurrence rate of all atrial arrhythmias (p = 0.01) and AF (p = 0.02) recurrence and similar recurrence rate of AT/AFL (p = 0.15). Additional PWI was associated with an increased AT/AFL recurrence (p = 0.03) in patients with left atrial diameter (LAD) <44 mm. Adjunctive PWI needed longer ablation time, fluoroscopy time, and total procedure time. The incidence of procedural adverse events was low and similar between both groups.
Conclusion: Adjunctive PWI beyond PVI did not improve the freedom from all atrial arrhythmias and AF with an increased recurrence rate of AT/AFL in non-paroxysmal AF patients. The ablation energy and LAD might affect the clinical outcome of PWI. However, larger more RCTs were needed to verify our findings.
期刊介绍：
''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
