Results: Recurrent symptoms with documentation of atrial arrhythmia occurred in 226/387 (58.4%) patients, of which 151/226 (66.8%) occurred within the first year. The median time to recurrence was 8.5 months (max 57.8 months). Eleven patients died during the study per...
Conclusions: Long-term success of AAFL ablation procedures is not satisfactory despite improvement in symptoms. Class I antiarrhythmics prescription at the discharge contributes to higher chances of sinus rhythm maintenance, whereas cardioversion during the procedure is related to increased risk of ...
