Fractionated Mapping-Guided Ablation Strategy in Patients with Long-Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: a Case Series
Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains the cornerstone of ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), optimal ablation strategy for long-standing persistent AF (LSPAF) remains unclear. This article presents two patients with LSPAF in whom acute AF termination was achieved during ablat...

| Summary: | Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains the cornerstone of ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), optimal ablation strategy for long-standing persistent AF (LSPAF) remains unclear. This article presents two patients with LSPAF in whom acute AF termination was achieved during ablation by using fractionated-guided extended PVI, posterior wall isolation, and mitral isthmus.
