Left atrial anterior scar in persistent atrial fibrillation: Results with pulmonary vein isolation and linear ablation including posterior mitral line
After a Marshall-plan ablation procedure, the presence of spontaneous LA anterior scar is associated with more AT/AF recurrence during the follow-up. These results suggest that additional ablation may be necessary to complement the initial ablation set during the first procedure in these patients.
