Effects of additional ablation of low-voltage areas after Box isolation for persistent atrial fibrillation.

BOXI facilitates AF termination and its non-inducibility. Among patients with PerAF, BOXI alone may be adequate in cases without LVAs. Although cases with LVAs have higher risk of AF recurrence, additional LVA ablation does not improve the outcomes much.
