Summary

Randomized comparison between 2 techniques of circumferential pulmonary vein ablation in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: Primary anatomical ablation with secondary closure of possible electrical gaps versus primary electrophysiological ablation at the sites of atrio-venous electrical breakthroughs with secondary circumferential ablation around the pulmonary vein orifice

Conditions

  • Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

primary electrophysiological approach

primary ablation of atrio-venous breakthrough sites followed by circumferential ablation around pulmonary vein orifice

PROCEDURE

primary anatomical approach

primary circumferential ablation around the pulmonary vein orifice followed by ablation of possible conduction gaps
