Abstract

Extensive ablation strategies are currently performed in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to improve the clinical outcome of patients with drug-refractory persistent atrial fibrillation (AF). Ablation of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs), linear lesions, and/or isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) are thought to improve arrhythmia-free survival.
