Summary
This study tested whether burning extra heart tissue (the left atrial posterior wall) along with the standard vein isolation procedure reduces the return of atrial fibrillation in people with persistent AF. 110 adults with persistent AF who were having their first ablation took part. The goal was to see if the combined approach works better than the standard procedure alone at keeping the heart in normal rhythm for one year.
