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

Effect of Catheter Ablation vs Medical Therapy on Quality of Life Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: The CABANA Randomized Clinical Trial

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2019
Importance Catheter ablation is more effective than drug therapy in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but its incremental effect on long-term quality of life (QOL) is uncertain.

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

Catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
IntroductionCatheter ablation is an effective and safe strategy for treating atrial fibrillation patients. Nevertheless, studies on the long-term outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are limited.
