In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Background: The posterior left atrium is an arrhythmogenic substrate that contributes to the
initiation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation (AF); however, the feasibility, safety, and …

Importance Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is less effective in patients with persistent
atrial fibrillation (AF) compared with paroxysmal AF. The left atrial posterior wall may …

Background: Left atrial posterior wall isolation (LAPWI) may improve rhythm control in
addition to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in persistent atrial fibrillation (persAF) patients …

Background The success of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is reduced in persistent AF
(PsAF) compared to paroxysmal AF. Adjunctive ablation strategies have failed to show …

Abstract Background and Aims Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is commonly incorporated into
catheter ablation (CA) strategies for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) in an attempt to improve …

Objectives This study sought to determine the long-term outcomes of restoring sinus rhythm
with catheter ablation (CA). Background The CAMERA-MRI (Catheter Ablation Versus …

Background Linear and complex electrogram ablation (LCEA) beyond pulmonary vein
isolation (PVI) is associated with an increase in left atrial macro–re-entrant tachycardias …

Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of catheter ablation of atrial
fibrillation (AF); however, the results are suboptimal for persistent AF. The left atrial posterior …
