“…Despite the analysis not reaching significance in terms of the recurrent rate of AF and/or AT between the EI-VOM combined with CA group and CA alone group (RR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.45-1.02, p = 0.06), focusing on the persistent AF population [33,34,42] revealed a significantly lower recurrence of AF and/or AT in the EI-VOM combined with CA group compared to the CA alone group (RR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.35-0.96, p = 0.04). In a meta-analysis by Ge W et al [46], a comprehensive review of nine studies [15,20,22,25,34,42,48,52,53], encompassing a staggering 2508 patients experiencing AF, was meticulously undertaken. Among this cohort, 1028 patients underwent EI-VOM + CA, while 1605 underwent CA alone.…”
