Does Atrial Fibrillation (AF) Termination Without Additional Ablation Influence Outcome?

Status unconfirmed

Conditions studied: Atrial Fibrillation

In brief

This prospective study aims to investigate if termination of atrial fibrillation (AF) after pulmonary vein antrum isolation (PVAI) without additional ablation of non-PV triggers, in long-standing persistent (LSP) AF, is enough to ensure long-term success.
