Atrial arrhythmias following lung transplantation: A state of the art review

Table 7 Case series on catheter ablation for atrial arrhythmias following lung transplantation, n (%)

Ref.	Year	LT patients	AA patients, n (% of LT)	CA patients, n (% of AA)	Time to CA	Outcome
Mariani et al[106]	2021			15		75% free from recurrence at median of 19 months (6-86 months)
Hussein et al[28]	2017	755	32 (4.2)	8 (25)	43 months (20-54 months)	At 3 years, 6 (75) stayed in SR. 2 patients had recurrence and 1 had re-do CA
Chaikriangkrai et al[24]	2015	293	Early 48 (16.3), late 42 (14.3)	25 (8.5)		80% of late AA were from left atrium. 20% of late AA were from right atrial
Azadani et al[52]	2011	269	35 (13)	3 (8.6)	Patient (no. 1) = 1 year. Patient (no. 2) = 28 days. Patient (no. 3) = 18 months	Patient (no. 1) = no recurrence at 1 months. Patient (no. 2) = no recurrence at 6 months. Patient (no. 3) = recurrence at 8 months and had second ablation
See et al[23]	2009	127	40 (31.5)	4 (12)		2 patients reverted to SR. 1 patient had 3 prior ablations. All 4 patients remained free of AA, 3 without anti arrhythmic drugs

AA: Atrial arrhythmias; CA: Catheter ablation; LT: Lung transplantation; SR: Sinus rhythm.
