Grant Activity:
Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Multi-centre, Prospective, Randomized Trial of Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) versus PVI with Posterior Left Atrial Wall Isolation (PWI)
Purpose:
AF is a common heart rhythm disturbance. In patients with symptoms despite medication, a minimally invasive procedure called catheter ablation can restore normal rhythm. This is effective in patients with paroxysmal AF. In AF of longer duration (persistent AF), standard ablation is not as useful. Adding another step during ablation known as posterior wall isolation (PWI) may increase success rates. This study will compare PWI and standard ablation versus standard ablation alone in persistent AF
