Key result
2C3L' ablation matches stepwise efficacy for persistent AF while cutting RF delivery and procedural time.
Why the study?
Does a fixed '2C3L' approach reduce procedural time and exposure while maintaining clinical efficacy compared to a stepwise approach in patients undergoing catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation?

A fixed '2C3L' approach for persistent AF ablation achieves similar clinical efficacy to a stepwise approach while significantly reducing RF delivery, X-ray exposure, and procedural time.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
2C3L may be preferred for persistent AF ablation to reduce time and exposure; extends prior data with RCT confirmation of equivalent efficacy.
For catheter ablation of persistent AF, the '2C3L' strategy is a fixed approach associated with clinical efficacy similar to that of the 'stepwise' approach but with less RF delivery, fewer X-ray exposure, and shorter procedural time.

Dong et al. (2015) studied this question. The '2C3L' strategy for catheter ablation of persistent AF offers similar clinical efficacy to the stepwise approach while reducing RF delivery, X-ray exposure, and procedural time.
