Study Summary

The purpose of this study it to learn whether pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) along with ablation of the posterior left atrial wall (PLAW) will reduce the likelihood of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence in patients with persistent or long-standing persistent AF one year after an ablation procedure in comparison to a PVI ablation procedure, alone. The investigator hypothesizes that the combination of PVI plus PLAW isolation will result in a reduction in recurrence of atrial arrhythmias at one year after ablation.

Primary Outcome

The results of 7-14 day ambulatory ECG monitoring and ECGs performed at 3, 6 and 12 months will be used to document freedom from recurrent atrial fibrillation at one year post-ablation.

Interventions

  • PROCEDURE Cryo or Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation only of Pulmonary Veins
  • PROCEDURE Cryo or RF Ablation of Pulmonary Veins plus Ablation of the PLAW
