Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Journal of Arrhythmia, 2005
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The pulmonary veins (PVs) play an important role not only in the onset but also the maintenance of AF. Therefore, the goal of present AF ablation is to electrically disconnect the PVs from the rest of the atrium by ablating around the origin of the PVs. Several

Catheter ablation vs. thoracoscopic surgical ablation in long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation: CASA-AF randomized controlled trial

European Heart Journal, 2020
Aims  Long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) is challenging to treat with suboptimal catheter ablation (CA) outcomes. Thoracoscopic surgical ablation (SA) has shown promising efficacy in atrial fibrillation (AF). This multicentre randomized

2024 European Heart Rhythm Association/Heart Rhythm Society/Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society/Latin American Heart Rhythm Society expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation

Europace
In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007, the first joint expert consensus document was issued, guiding healthcare
