Ablation strategies promising AF termination and eliminating recurrence
As for the AF termination, unadjusted logistic regression analysis identified 2 ablation strategies associated with favorable response: PLS ablation and PVI. Of interest, the PLS ablation and PVI were positively and negatively associated with favorable response, respectively. According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the most predictive model of favorable response consisted of the PLS ablation (Table 2).
As for the AF/AT recurrence, unadjusted Cox proportional hazard regression analysis identified 2 factors associated with AF/AT recurrence: PLS ablation and LVEF. According to the multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression analysis, the most predictive model of AF/AT recurrence consisted of the PLS ablation (Table 3).
