Brief description Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cause for an irregular heart beat. Catheter ablation is the only potential cure and involves passing wires via veins in the leg into the heart to deliver discrete small burns(ablation) around the pulmonary veins (PV), the major source for AF. Unfortunately 30-50% of patients have recurrent arrhythmia due to reestablishment of electrical connections. This multicentre internation trial examines whether more (maximal) ablation will improve the outcomes of the procedure.
