Efficacy and safety of left atrial appendage electrical isolation during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: an updated meta-analysis

ConclusionAt long-term follow-up, LAAEI led to a significantly higher improvement in freedom from all-atrial arrhythmia  recurrence in patients with non-paroxysmal AF, when compared to standard ablation alone. Importantly, this benefit was achieved without an increased risk of acute procedural complications or cerebral thromboembolic events.
