In this meta-analysis, CA of postsurgical ATs after MVS proved safe and effective but with still a significant burden of AF recurrence at more than 24 months of FU due to a progressive atrial substrate deterioration. The improvement of procedural success over time might suggest a learning curve in optimizing the use of 3D mapping systems.
