No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The optimal strategy for catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation is not clearly defined. This study investigates if Complex Fractionated Atrial Electrogram (CFAE) ablation in addition to pulmonary vein isolation and linear ablations improves single procedural success rate over a 12 month follow up period.

Conditions

  • Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Radiofrequency catheter Ablation

In this arm, catheter ablation would be performed in the left atrium and would include pulmonary vein isolation and linear ablations (roof and mitral isthmus lines)
