Influence of High-Frequency Low-Tidal Volume Versus Jet Ventilation on Acute and Long-Term Outcomes Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionUse of high-frequency low-tidal volume (HFLTV) and high-frequency jet ventilation (HFJV) during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improves acute procedural success and long-term outcomes compared to conventional ventilation. However, the impact of HFLTV compared to HFJV on acute and long-term outcomes is unknown.
methodsWe prospectively identified 1039 patients who underwent first-time PVI or PVI with posterior wall isolation (PWI) at our institution between 2022 and 2024 with HFLTV or HFJV. Acute procedural and safety outcomes were analyzed. Twelve-month arrhythmia-free survival was evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards method.
resultsAfter excluding 44 patients who required discontinuation of HFJV, 860 patients receiving HFJV were compared with 179 receiving HFLTV ventilation. Mean age was 65 years, 93% were White, 30% female and 53% had paroxysmal AF. First-pass isolation (FPI) rates were similar between ventilation strategies. HFLTV was associated with a higher rate of intraprocedural hypotension (31% vs 23%, p = 0.02). Complications were generally minor and comparable between groups. Arrhythmia recurrence rates at 12 months were similar (HR: 0.89, p = 0.55). There was a trend toward improved outcomes when FPI was achieved for both pulmonary veins in either group.
conclusionIn this observational cohort, no significant differences in acute procedural outcomes, safety outcomes, or long-term arrhythmia recurrence were observed between HFLTV and HFJV. Given the specialized equipment and operator training required for HFJV and its non-negligible rate of discontinuation, HFLTV may offer a modest practical advantage in routine clinical practice.
