Does pulmonary-vein isolation improve outcomes compared to atrioventricular-node ablation with biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure and drug-refractory atrial fibrillation?
Pulmonary-vein isolation is superior to AV-node ablation with biventricular pacing for patients with heart failure and drug-refractory atrial fibrillation.
Pulmonary-vein isolation was superior to atrioventricular-node ablation with biventricular pacing in patients with heart failure who had drug-refractory atrial fibrillation. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00599976.)
