Official title

Second Randomization Study to Assess Efficacy of Different Ablation Strategies in Achieving Long-Term Arrhythmia Control in Patients With Persistent or Long Standing Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: RASTA XT Study

Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

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.
