Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the value of ablation of high frequency sources following circumferential pulmonary veins isolation in patients with paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Radiofrequency catheter ablation

* In case of Paroxysmal AF, patients will be randomized into one of 2 in the study: 1. Empirical pulmonary vein antrum circumferential isolation, or 2. High frequency sites ablation in the LA * In case of Persistent AF, patients will be randomized into one of 2 in the study: 1. Empirical circumferential PV antrum isolation w/out roof line, or 2. A combined approach involving PV antrum isolation w/out roof line and high frequency sites ablation.
