“…However, a combination of AF and LBBB induced heart failure within 6 months. 16 In order to exclude with all-cause death, all-cause hospitalization, and cardiovascular hospitalization. 17 There were only a few studies that addressed the issue of the impact of LBBB on AF recurrence after catheter ablation.…”

“…In a case report, it was also shown that AF alone (lasting for 6 years) or isolated LBBB (lasting for 18 months after AF ablation) did not induce cardiomyopathy. However, a combination of AF and LBBB induced heart failure within 6 months 16 . In order to exclude the influence of LBBB on heart failure which leads to poor outcomes, Rodríguez–Mañero M. et al.…”

BackgroundLeft bundle branch block (LBBB) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are commonly coexisting conditions. The impact of LBBB on catheter ablation of AF has not been well determined. This study aims to explore the long‐term outcomes of patients with AF and LBBB after catheter ablation.MethodsForty‐two patients with LBBB of 11,752 patients who underwent catheter ablation of AF from 2011 to 2020 were enrolled as LBBB group. After propensity score matching in a 1:4 ratio, 168 AF patients without LBBB were enrolled as non‐LBBB group. Late recurrence and a composite endpoint of stroke, all‐cause mortality, and cardiovascular hospitalization were compared between the two groups.ResultsLate recurrence rate was significantly higher in the LBBB group than that in the non‐LBBB group (54.8% vs. 31.5%, p = .034). Multivariate analysis showed that LBBB was an independent risk factor for late recurrence after catheter ablation of AF (hazard ratio [HR] 2.19, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09–4.40, p = .031). LBBB group was also associated with a significantly higher incidence of the composite endpoint (21.4% vs. 6.5%, HR 3.98, 95% CI 1.64–9.64, p = .002).ConclusionsLBBB was associated with a higher risk for late recurrence and a higher incidence of composite endpoint in the patients underwent catheter ablation.

“…Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) involves pulmonary vein isolation and left atrial ablations, which are a crucial part of non-pharmacological treatment for drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF) (1)(2)(3). RFCA has become more widely used in the treatment of uncontrolled AF in the past few years (4,5). As a result of RFCA, complications such as left atrial esophageal fistula and cardiac tamponade have declined over the past 10 years, especially when performed by an experienced surgeon (6,7).…”

Postpericardial injury syndrome (PPIS) is defined as pericarditis or pericardial effusion that results from recent myocardial infarction or intracardiac interventions. These symptoms typically include fever, leukocytosis, a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and elevated C-reactive protein levels. Additionally, pericardial effusion and pleural effusion may be present. It is considered to be a common complication in cardio-surgery with an occurrence of 3–30%. In the past 20 years, a high number of patients with atrial fibrillation have suffered from PPIS following radiofrequency catheter ablation. However, previous reports focused on identifying cardiac tamponade and pericardial effusion as their main clinical manifestations. Solitary pulmonary involvement following PPIS with the radiofrequency catheter ablation may occur. We report a case of PPIS that presented pleural effusion as the dominant feature soon after the operation and systematic review to illustrate the clinical characteristics of PPIS.
