Key result
Atrial enlargement and duration of atrial fibrillation were identified as the main independent predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in the long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure.
Why the study?
AF recurrence after ablation is increasingly discussed, prompting an analysis of predictors of recurrence in the long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure.
What are the predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in the long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure?
Systematic Review (n=13)
What are the predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in the long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure?
Atrial enlargement and duration of atrial fibrillation are key independent predictors of long-term AF recurrence following biatrial cryo-maze procedures.

Atrial enlargement and AF duration warrant preoperative risk stratification for cryo-maze; confirms these as main independent long-term recurrence predictors.
Today, the issue of atrial fibrillation recurrence after ablation is increasingly discussed in the literature. Many authors analyze the factors predicting success or failure of cryo-maze procedure. This review is devoted to predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure. Primary screening identified 48 studies. There were 27 articles after removing duplicate articles, case reports and articles with unavailable full-text versions. Two independent researchers reviewed the full-text articles and enrolled 11 and 14 articles, respectively. After collegial discussion and involving the third researcher, we selected 13 articles for final analysis. It was established that atrial enlargement and duration of atrial fibrillation are the main independent predictors of recurrence in long-term period.

Комаров et al. (2024) conducted a systematic review in Atrial fibrillation recurrence after biatrial cryo-maze procedure (n=13). Atrial enlargement and duration of atrial fibrillation was evaluated on Atrial fibrillation recurrence. Atrial enlargement and duration of atrial fibrillation were identified as the main independent predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence in the long-term period after biatrial cryo-maze procedure.
