Catheter ablation is an accepted therapeutic option for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), but its role is less certain in patients with persistent AF.1 The difference in response to pulmonary vein (PV) isolation (PVI) between paroxysmal and persistent forms of AF may arise because of triggers from non-PV sites or alterations in atrial substrate favoring maintenance of AF that are unaffected by PVI alone.2 In support of this statement, adjunctive ablation of certain sites (including the superior vena cava, ligament of Marshall [LOM], crista terminalis, coronary sinus [CS], posterior wall of the left atrium [LA], and left atrial appendage [LAA]) as well as more widespread ablation aimed at modifying substrate has been shown to improve the ...
