“…In current practice, power and duration are often selected for modification between two broad ablation strategies, high power, shorter duration (HPSD) and lower power, longer duration (LPLD). The conventional LPLD of 10 to 35 W (most commonly 25-35 W) for a duration of 10 to 30 s, is the more commonly used strategy [11,12]. Recently, it has been suggested that another approach of HPSD ([?…”

Background: Multiple strategies have advocation for power titration and catheter movement during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Comparative favoring evidence regarding the efficacy, logistics, and safety of a higher power, shorter duration (HPSD) ablation strategy compared to a lower power, longer duration (LPLD) ablation strategy is insubstantial. We performed a metaanalysis to compare arrhythmia-free survival, procedure times, and complication rates between the two strategies. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane Library from inception to April 2020. We included studies comparing patients underwent HPSD and LPLD strategies for AF ablation and reporting either of the following outcomes: freedom from atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) including AF and atrial flutter, procedure time, or periprocedural complications. We combined data using the random-effects model to calculate odds ratio (OR) and weight mean difference (WMD) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Results: Nine studies from 2006-2020 involving 2,282 patients were included (1,369 patients underwent HPSD strategy and 853 patients underwent LPLD strategy). HPSD strategy was not associated with an increased freedom from AT at 12-month follow-up (OR= 1.41, 95%CI:0.90-2.21). There was a significant reduction in the HPSD group for total procedure (WMD=49.60, 95%CI:29.76-69.44) and ablation (WMD=17.92, 95%CI:13.63-22.22) times, but not for fluoroscopy time (WMD=1.15, 95%CI:-0.67-2.97). HPSD was not associated with a reduction in esophageal ulcer/atrioesophageal fistula (OR=0.35, 95%CI:0.12-1.06) or pericardial effusion/cardiac tamponade rates (OR=0.96, 95%CI:0.24-3.79). Conclusions: When compared to a LPLD strategy, HPSD strategy does not improve recurrent AT nor reduce periprocedural complication risks.However, a HPSD strategy can significantly reduce total procedure and ablation times.

“…In current practice, power and duration are often selected for modification between two broad ablation strategies, high‐power, shorter duration (HPSD) and lower‐power, longer duration (LPLD). The conventional LPLD of 10 to 35 W (most commonly 25–35 W) for a duration of 10–30 s, is the more commonly used strategy 11,12 . Recently, it has been suggested that another approach of HPSD (≥40 W, duration of <10 s) can be used to lower the time spent per lesion, and since heat transfer in tissues is time‐dependent, reduces deep tissue heating and collateral injury 9,13 .…”

HPSD strategy was not associated with increased freedom from AT at 12-month follow-up (OR = 1.54, 95% CI: 0.99 to 2.40, p = .054). In the subgroup analysis of the randomized controlled trial, the HPSD strategy was associated with

“…A lower-power, long-duration (LPLD) ablation (10-35 W for 10-30 seconds) is commonly used on the posterior wall. [13][14] In contrast, a high-power, short-duration (HPSD) ablation (50 W for 2-15 seconds) during the PVI has been advocated to decrease the procedure time without an increase in complications. [15][16][17][18][19] However, the optimal RF power and duration settings on the posterior wall near the esophagus are not fully elucidated and studies about HPSD ablation during BOXI are limited.…”

“…Although a durable lesion formation of the PVI or BOXI is essential for successful outcomes, ablation on the posterior wall has a risk of esophageal injury. A lower‐power, long‐duration (LPLD) ablation (10‐35 W for 10‐30 seconds) is commonly used on the posterior wall 13‐14 . In contrast, a high‐power, short‐duration (HPSD) ablation (50 W for 2‐15 seconds) during the PVI has been advocated to decrease the procedure time without an increase in complications 15‐19 .…”
