Current guidelines for the optimal ablation strategy persistent atrial fibrillation(PerAF) remain unclear. While our previous RCT confirmed favorable prognosis of aggressive ablation, real-world evidence is still lacking. Among 4,833 PerAF patients undergoing catheter at 10 centers, two groups were defined: Regular Ablation(PVI-only or PVI plus anatomical ablation) and Aggressive Ablation(anatomical electrogram-guided ablation), with 1,560 each after propensity score(PS) matching.

Oesophageal fistula is a rare complication of catheter ablation atrial fibrillation with most fistulas being atrio-oesophageal fistulas, but oesophageal-pericardial can also happen in the absence perforation.
