Does adjunctive posterior wall isolation reduce the recurrence of AF and atrial arrhythmias in patients with persistent AF compared to PVI alone?
In patients with persistent AF, adding posterior wall isolation to pulmonary vein isolation reduces the recurrence of atrial fibrillation and atrial arrhythmias without increasing procedural complications.
In patients with persistent AF, adjunctive PWI was associated with decreased recurrence of AF and atrial arrhythmias compared with PVI alone without an increased risk of AFL or AT or procedure related complications.
