Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) with adjunctive linear ablation vs. CPVI alone for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (SINUS): study protocol for a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled trial

Previous studies have shown that circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) alone has a relatively lower success rate for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSPAF). This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety between CPVI combined with modified linear ablat...
