Impact of pulmonary vein isolation on atrial arrhythmias in patients with typical atrial flutter: systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
In patients with typical AFL, PVI ± CTI ablation is more effective than CTI alone in reducing the atrial tachyarrhythmias and subsequent AF during follow-up, without affecting major complications rate. These results set the rationale for a well-designed, larger-scale RCT comparing both strategies.
