Background: Catheter ablation is a widely used approach to treat patients with drug refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) and persistent atrial fibrillation (CAF). The aim of this analysis was to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the multielectrode/phased radiofrequency (RF)/duty-cycled ablation catheters in the treatment of both PAF and CAF in a large cohort of patients.
Methods And Results: From July 2008 to February 2010, 429 consecutive drug refractory symptomatic patients (mean age 60 ± 12 years old, 58% men, 68% PAF, 32% CAF) were treated.
