Abstract The CABANA trial is a randomized controlled study comparing catheter ablation vs. conventional medical therapy in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. The results of the study showed that catheter ablation did not have a significant reduction of strokes, deaths, serious bleeding, or cardiac arrest compared to medical therapy. However, a significant improvement in AF recurrences, quality of life, and symptom relief has been shown after catheter ablation compared to drug therapy. The mixed results of the study emphasized an active controversy in the cardiology community on the interpretation of the data and their use in current clinical practice. In this review, we summarized the principal controversy points of the trial describing the strengths and weaknesses of the study design and analysis.
