Study Summary

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) combined with empiric ablation of either common sites of non-PV triggers of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) and locations that may sustain stable AF sources should be more efficacious than PVI combined with ablation of only documented non-PV triggers of AF in achieving long-term arrhythmia control in patients with persistent or long standing persistent AF.

Primary Outcome

Compare PVI strategies in group 1 (documented non-PV triggers of AF) to group 2 (PVI combined with empiric ablation of common sites) over 12 months to assess for recurrence of atrial fibrillation.
