Abstract
LA-only ablation yielded acceptable success rates, primarily in patients with shorter AF duration and smaller LA. However, success was reduced in patients with traditional predictors of failure. Well-designed studies with standardized lesion sets and ablation tools are required to determine whether full Cox maze yields better outcomes in patients with more advanced AF.
