Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation presents suboptimal results in patients (pts) with persistent long-lasting forms (LSPAF, AF ≥12 months). Recently, the STAR AF-II trial has shown that in these pts complex additional strategies do not improve success compared to only performing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Objectives: To evaluate the success of AF ablation, particularly in long-standing persistent AF
