Major finding
In this study, a composite outcome of a documented recurrence of any ATA
or a prescription of an AAD in the CBA group was not statistically
different from that in the RFA group. However, freedom from any ATA with
an AAD was statistically better in the CBA group than in the RFA group.
Although procedure-related complications were not different between the
two groups, the procedure time was obviously shorter in the CBA group
than in the RFA group. To our knowledge, this is the first study to
explore the value of CBA for AF in HD patients.
