Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether adding left atrial appendage ligation to catheter pulmonary vein isolation enhances the treatment of nonparoxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
- It was conducted as a multicenter, randomized clinical trial involving 404 patients, comparing a group that received both treatments to another that only received pulmonary vein isolation.
- The main objectives were to evaluate the effectiveness of preventing atrial arrhythmias and the safety of the procedures, with follow-up monitoring extending up to 12 months after treatment.
