Why the study?
Does adjuvant CFAE ablation in addition to standard PVAI improve long-term sinus rhythm maintenance in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Does adjuvant CFAE ablation in addition to standard PVAI improve long-term sinus rhythm maintenance in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Adjuvant CFAE ablation improves long-term sinus rhythm maintenance in nonparoxysmal AF but offers no additional benefit in paroxysmal AF.
May support adjuvant CFAE ablation in nonparoxysmal AF; leaves open confirmation in randomized trials.
Adjuvant CFAE ablation in addition to standard PVAI increases the rate of long-term sinus rhythm maintenance in nonparoxysmal AF patients after a single procedure without antiarrhythmic drugs but does not provide additional benefit to sinus rhythm maintenance in paroxysmal AF patients.
