Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation with adjunctive linear ablation vs. circumferential pulmonary vein isolation alone for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: a randomized pilot study
In patients with LSPAF, the CPVI-MLA strategy significantly improved freedom from AF compared with CPVI alone, although it did not improve overall sinus rhythm maintenance rate. This strategy may offer a refined approach for complex AF ablation, warranting further validation in larger trials.
