This pilot study demonstrates that fractionation mapping-guided ablation may provide an adjunctive benefit in terms of acute AF termination in patients with LSPAF. These results should be confirmed by larger, randomized, comparison studies between linear ablation and extended ablation without elimination of electrograms (EGMs) with fractionation.
