Impact of left atrial appendage closure with or without radiofrequency ablation on cardiac remodeling in atrial fibrillation patients
In this retrospective cohort, LAAC combined with RFCA was associated with more favorable cardiac remodeling patterns than simple LAAC. These differences likely reflect rhythm restoration achieved through RFCA rather than a direct effect of LAAC itself.
