7 Summary Linear ablation for persistent AF frequently leads to atypical AFL or macro-reentrant AT after ablation, reducing overall success rate, especially if initial linear ablation is incomplete with gaps present. Linear ablation may not be required for comparable long-term success if electrical reverse remodeling occurs following restoration of SR (i.e. by cardioversion or AA drugs) either before or after AF ablation. Linear ablation may be associated with greater complication rate compared to PVI alone (segmental or circumferential).

9 Prevention of Recurrence of Atypical Atrial Flutter after AF Ablation Atypical AFL or macro-reentrant AT occurs in up to 20-40% of patients undergoing LALA for AF Occurs more often after LALA ablation than after segmental PVI alone Limit linear lesions to minimum required to prevent AF recurrence Map linear ablations to ensure complete block, MI block may require ablation in CS Avoid use of proarrhythmic drugs that promote recurrence of atypical flutter (i.e. class 1c) in postablation period Fibrillating Areas Within the LA after Linear Catheter Ablation Rostock T, et.al. J Cardiovasc Electrophysiol 17: ;2006 Summary Linear ablation may be associated with greater complication rates compared to PVI alone (segmental or circumferential). Linear ablation may isolate areas of fibrillating LA but not eliminate them. Avoiding linear ablation results in a shorter procedure time, with less fluoroscopy exposure, and less physical stress to operator and patient.
