Ablation Outcomes
We observed a slightly higher acute success and long-term recurrence for
the CF cases compared to control (Table 2), however the results were not
statistically significant. Long term recurrence of patients’ APs
occurred sooner in the control group, all within 2.2 months of the
procedure, while CF cases resulted in more overall recurrences over a
longer 3.7 month period (Figure 1). AP location was not found to affect
acute or long-term ablation outcomes when comparing ablation catheters.
