Pool\u2010analyses demonstrated that, as compared STc ablation, STSFc ablation was more beneficial in terms of procedural times (standard mean difference [SMD]: \u22120.22; 95% confidence interval [CI], \u22120.37 to \u22120.07, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .005) and irrigation fluid volume (SMD: \u22121.94; 95% CI, \u22122.65 to \u22121.22, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u2009.0001). There was no significant difference between STSFc and STc (risk ratio [RR]: 1.02; 95% CI: 0.86 to 1.21, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .79) for free from AF. Evidence of complications were low and similar for both groups (RR: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.19\u20103.55, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .80). Additionally, patients administered STSFc ablation tended to have shorter fluoroscopic times (SMD: \u22120.20; 95% CI, \u22120.63\u20100.23, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = .21).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>STSFc ablation was associated with reducing procedural times and irrigation fluid volume. Further, STSFc ablation tended to shorten fluoroscopic times. Therefore, STSFc ablation would be a better choice for AF patients especially in patients with heart failure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/clc.23297","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]],"date-time":"2019-11-19T19:19:46Z","timestamp":1574191186000},"page":"267-274","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Safety and efficacy of the ThermoCool SmartTouch SurroundFlow catheter for atrial fibrillation ablation: A meta\u2010analysis"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Chao\u2010Feng","family":"Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou First People's Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine  Hangzhou City Zhejiang Province China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao\u2010Fei","family":"Gao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou First People's Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine  Hangzhou City Zhejiang Province China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mei\u2010Jun","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou First People's Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine  Hangzhou City Zhejiang Province China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Chao\u2010Lun","family":"Jin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nanjing Medical University  Hangzhou City Zhejiang Province China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8870-5472","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yi\u2010Zhou","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hangzhou First People's Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine  Hangzhou City Zhejiang Province China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,11,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000000041"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joa.2017.08.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/ejcts\/ezw313"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euy014"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euw177"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jce.12221"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eux264"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/eux290"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jce.12031"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_1","first-page":"193","article-title":"Which is the best catheter to perform atrial fibrillation ablation?
