Clinical benefit of contact force-sensing catheters in the ablation of atrial fibrillation: meta-analysis to dig for truth or bias?
Original language description
We have read with interest the article by Afzal et al1 in a recent issue of HeartRhythm. By performing meta-analysis of 9 studies, they investigated the outcome of the radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), depending on the technology used-contact force (CF)-sensing catheter vs conventional ablation catheter. Although we appreciate CF technology, we challenge their main finding of a 37% reduction in AF recurrence with the use of CF catheter.
