This study demonstrates no advantage in long-term arrhythmia-free clinical outcome after circumferential PV isolation in patients with frequent PAF.

Ablation of long-lasting persistent AF was characterized by more frequent failure to restore SR, and predominant conversion into LA tachycardia prior to SR restoration, and SR restoration by ablation outside the LA posterior wall. SR restoration by ablation was associated with better clinical outcome in these patients.

The majority of right and left AMRTs were related to the presence of ESA. Ablation can be successful with a favorable risk of atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence.
