A Retrospective Long-Term Follow-Up of the Randomized Study: Total Endoscopic Ablation of Patients With Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
In this population of patients with long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation, totally endoscopic box lesion ablation of the left atrium had short-term efficacy in restoring sinus rhythm. Long-term efficacy could not be demonstrated, with a high proportion of relapse in atrial fibrillation beyond 1 year post ablation.
