Ablation strategies promising AF termination and eliminating
recurrence
As for the AF termination, unadjusted logistic regression analysis
identified 2 ablation strategies associated with favorable response: PLS
ablation and PVI. Of interest, the PLS ablation and PVI were positively
and negatively associated with favorable response, respectively.
According to the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the most
predictive model of favorable response consisted of the PLS ablation
(Table 2).
As for the AF/AT recurrence, unadjusted Cox proportional hazard
regression analysis identified 2 factors associated with AF/AT
recurrence: PLS ablation and LVEF. According to the multivariate Cox
proportional hazard regression analysis, the most predictive model of
AF/AT recurrence consisted of the PLS ablation (Table 3).
