Catheter Ablation of Advanced Forms of Atrial Fibrillation
The purpose of this study is to evaluate feasibility, safety, and efficacy of pulmonary vein isolation combined with posterior left atrial isolation and multiple linear lesions in both atria in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.
Inclusion: persistent atrial fibrillation or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation; severely enlarged left atrium (LAVI above 50 ml/m2).
Exclusion: previous ablation in left atrium; acute life-threatening disease; severe valvular disease requiring intervention; age above 80 years; contraindications for electroporation; contraindications for general anaesthesia; less than 1 year life expectancy; thrombus formation in left atrium; secondary atrial fibrillation.
