Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a key predictor of clinical events after catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF), but BNP levels are influenced by multiple factors. It remains unclear how these factors affect prognosis in AF patients after CA. Persistent AF (PerAF) patients undergoing initial CA were enrolled. Independent factors associated with BNP levels were identified using multivariable analysis. A total of 554 patients with high BNP (>100 pg/mL) were classified by hierarchical cluster analysis incorporating these factors.

Reoperative total arch replacement (TAR) following prior cardiovascular surgery presents significant technical challenges and is associated with higher risk profiles. With increasing numbers of patients undergoing reoperation as a result of successful outcomes from primary procedures, we sought to compare the clinical outcomes of reoperative TAR with those of first-time TAR.
Background Long-term data are essential for selection between transcatheter (TAVR) and surgical (SAVR) aortic valve replacement in low-risk aortic stenosis (AS) patients. Given the recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and mid-term outcomes from existing trials, a reappraisal of the current literature is necessary. Methods We systematically identified RCTs comparing TAVR and SAVR in low risk AS patients. A meta-analysis was performed using the reconstructed time-to-event data from published Kaplan-Meier curves.
