Abstract

Catheter ablation has emerged as effective therapy for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those refractory or intolerants to medical therapy. Conventional technique used is wide area circumferential ablation (WACA). Adjunctive ablation techniques such as performing additional linear lesion or targeting complex fractionated atrial electrogram (CFAE) are still area of ongoing research. There is least amount of literature in this area published in Malaysia.
