Abstrakt: High-power, short-duration (HPSD) radiofrequency (RF) ablation is expected to be more effective and safer than low-power, long-duration (LPLD) RF ablation in treating atrial fibrillation (AF). Given the limited data available, the findings are controversial. This meta-analysis evaluated whether the clinical effects of HPSD outweigh those of LPLD. A systematic search of PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar databases identified studies comparing HPSD to LPLD ablation. All the analyses used the random-effects model. This analysis included 21 studies with a total of 4,169 patients. Pooled analyses revealed that HPSD was associated with a lower recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmias (ATAs) at 1 year (relative risk [RR], 0.62; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.50-0.78; P = .00001; I 2 = 0%). Furthermore, the HPSD approach reduced the risk of AF recurrence (RR, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.40-1.01; P = .06; I 2 = 86%). The HPSD approach was associated with a lower risk of esophageal thermal injury (ETI) (RR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.58-1.04; P = .09; I 2 = 73%). The HPSD strategy increased first-pass pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) and decreased acute PV reconnection (PVR), both of which were predominantly manifested in bilateral and left PVs. HPSD facilitated a reduction in procedural time, number of lesions created during PVI, and fluoroscopy time. The HPSD method reduces ETI, PVR, and recurrent AF. The HPSD approach also reduced the procedural time, number of lesions created during PVI, fluoroscopy time, and post-ablation AF relapse in 1 year, improving patient outcomes and safety.
