Does a Pacemaker Make a Difference? Long‐Term Outcomes Post‐AF Ablation in Tachy‐Brady Syndrome
In TBS patients undergoing AF ablation, overall failure rates did not differ by initial PPM status, though there was a higher hospital readmission in PPM group, suggesting a potential sicker population. Furthermore, delayed PPM implantation was associated with higher failure and more hospitalizations, suggesting earlier or concurrent PPM may benefit selected patients. Larger prospective studies are needed to define predictors and optimize management.
