Table 2 Procedural and ablation data of the 2 groups.
| Procedural outcome | OWCA group (n=59) | Conventional group (n=50) | p value |
|---|---|---|---|
| PVI success (n/%) | 59 (100%) | 59 (100%) | |
| Total procedural time (min) | 135.3±18.7 | 118.6±16.3 | 0.489 |
| Total operation time (min) | 56.3±9.5 | 65.5±10.4 | 0.896 |
| Fluoroscopy time (min) | 6.4±2.8 | 6.8±2.8 | 0.258 |
| Bilateral PVI circles | |||
| First-pass isolation (n/%) | 56/59 (94.9%) | 45/59 (76.3%) | 0.004 |
| Acute PVR (n/%) | 3/59 (5.1%) | 12/59 (20.3%) | 0.013 |
| OWCA – optimal workflow for radiofrequency catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation; PVI – pulmonary vein isolation; PVR – pulmonary vein reconnection. | |||
