• 2012 HRS/EHRA/ECAS expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation: recommendations for patient selection, procedural techniques, patient management and follow-up, definitions, endpoints, and research trial design (2012, background): “Whereas a consensus has been reached on the approach to ablation of patients with paroxysmal AF, no consensus exists for patients with nonparoxysmal AF [1, 3, 4, 82, 115, 231, 245, 517].”
• 2017 HRS/EHRA/ECAS/APHRS/SOLAECE expert consensus statement on catheter and surgical ablation of atrial fibrillation (2017, background): “In patients with long-standing persistent AF, a step-wise approach to ablation has been reported to successfully convert AF to either sinus rhythm or AT in greater than 80% of patients.(514,547) Despite these encouraging acute outcomes, the follow-up data were disappointing, with a 1-year single pro”
