Brief Summary
Ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) using pulmonary vein isolation is employed when patients do not respond favorably to medical therapy. Successful procedures are accomplished in the majority of patients, but the outcome after many years of follow-up after ablation is unknown.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Atrial fibrillation or flutter > 30 secs
More than one year after successful primary ablation or redo procedure within 6 mos
Study Arms (1)
Post-successful ablation
Patients who had undergone PVI ablation for AF and were free of AF for at least one year
Eligibility Criteria
Patients who underwent PVI ablation for drug refractory AF over a 10 year period and were free of AF for one year after last ablation procedure
You may qualify if:
- Prior AF ablation procedure
- No AF for one year post ablation
You may not qualify if:
- Geographic inaccessibility
- Longstanding persistent AF
- Recurrent AF within one year of ablation
