Pooled data on the efficacy of AF driver-guided catheter ablation suggest increased freedom from AF/AT relative to conventional strategies. However, most studies are nonrandomized and of moderate quality. Though promising data exist, there remains no conclusive evidence for the efficacy of AF driver ablation. Robust data from randomized trials are needed.
