Comparison of CTI Ablation Prior to or After LA Ablation for AF

NYU Langone Health132 enrolled

Overview

This study is designed to determine if CTI prior to CPVA/PVI/Linear Lesions/Fractionation results in reduced left atrial ablation lesion sets prior to restoration of sinus rhythm in patients with long standing persistent atrial fibrillation in the absence of antiarrhythmic drug therapy compared to CTI after CPVA/PVI/Linear Lesions/Fractionation.
