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 AFinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
