BackgroundRadiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (LSP-AF) remains challenging, especially in patients with very long atrial fibrillation (AF) duration. ObjectiveTo evaluate the long-term outcomes of RFCA in patients with LSP-AF lasting [≥] 3 years, and to identify predictors for AF recurrence.
