  • Atrial fibrillation termination as a procedural endpoint during ablation in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.

    Elayi CS, Di Biase L, Barrett C, Ching CK, al Aly M, Lucciola M, Bai R, Horton R, Fahmy TS, Verma A, Khaykin Y, Shah J, Morales G, Hongo R, Hao S, Beheiry S, Arruda M, Schweikert RA, Cummings J, Burkhardt JD, Wang P, Al-Ahmad A, Cauchemez B, Gaita F, Natale A. Heart Rhythm. 2010; 7 (9): 1216-23

    Ablation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) remains challenging, with a lower success rate than paroxysmal AF. A reliable ablation endpoint has not been demonstrated yet, although AF termination during ablation may be associated with higher long-term maintenance of sinus rhythm (SR).
