| Popis: | Catheter ablation of long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF) presents unique challenges and the lack of large body of evidence surrounding management makes for disagreement and different approaches for treatment. Outlined is a case example that offers a comprehensive approach to ablation in patients with LSPAF that consists of risk factor management, an ablation strategy, a rigorous trigger protocol and follow-up rhythm monitoring. The case presented highlights management of this difficult population as best guided by current evidence and our experience. Ablation treatment and management strategies will continue to evolve with further randomized data and the advent of improved ablation technologies. |
