Summary

In patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), disease can be eliminated by targeting ablation to its primary sustaining mechanism alone without the need to ablate triggers. This is the conclusion of the Precise Rotor Elimination without Concomitant pulmonary vein Isolation for the Successful Elimination of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation study [PRECISE-PAF; NCT01248156] presented in a late-breaking clinical trial session.
