Brief Summary

Cryoablation combined with left atrial appendage closure is a novel strategy for atrial fibrillation patients. Through long-term follow-up, the investigators aimed to observe the safety and efficacy of the combined procedure in Chinese population.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Recurrence of atrial arrhythmia

    The proportion of patients have recurrent atrial arrhythmia, including atrial tachycardia lasting longer than 30 seconds, atrial flutter, and atrial fibrillation. Detected by either ECG or 24 Holter monitor.

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

  • Incidence of stroke

    the proportion of patients have either hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke confirmed by CT or MRI.

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

Secondary Outcomes (13)

  • All-cause death

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

  • Cardiovascular death

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

  • Major hemorrhagic events

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

  • Myocardial infarction

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

  • Peripheral vascular embolism

    since the start of the procedure, third, sixth, twelfth month, and every year after, up to 5 years.

  • +8 more secondary outcomes
