Index procedure PVI + PWI for PeAF was feasible when recognizing that limited ablation in a PW center-to-right-carina zone was required in a subset of patients. Despite limited chronic PWI durability this strategy was followed by low AF-burden. A PVI + PWI strategy appears promising in ablation for PeAF.
