Ablation of complex fractionated electrograms improves outcome in long standing persistent atrial fibrillation

2017-04-03

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Purpose</h4> There is controversy and sparse data on whether substrate based techniques in addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) confer benefit in the catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), especially if long standing. We performed an observational study to assess whether substrate based ablation improved freedom from atrial arrhythmia. <h4>Methods</h4> 286 patients undergoing first a...
