Fig 1 Classification of atrial fibrillation (AF1). Either paroxysmal or persistent AF may be recurrent AF (AF2). Paroxysmal AF lasts 7 or fewer days and terminates spontaneously (AF3). Persistent AF includes cases of long-standing AF (eg, greater than 1 year), usually leading to permanent AF (AF4). Persistent AF does not terminate spontaneously, but requires electrical or pharmacological cardioversion to restore normal sinus rhythm; if the first-detected episode of AF does not terminate spontaneously, it is also designated persistent.

Fig 2 Lesion set generated in our center. Pulmonary veins are isolated by a line of ablation around the ostiums and connected to the atriotomy incision line. Another line is created towards the mitral P3 region. (LAA = left atrial appendage).
