High-power short-duration AF ablation with target AI of 400 for non-posterior wall and 300 for posterior wall lesions resulted in comparable long-term results compared to higher AI (450/350) ablations with significantly lower risk for thermal oesophageal lesions. Older age, larger LA size, persistent AF, and extra-PV ablation targets were identified in a multivariate analysis as independent risk factors for recurrences of atrial arrhythmias.
