- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rhythm monitoring based on 2012 ACC/AHA/HRS guidelines as described above. 24-hour Holter ECG monitoring will be performed at 2-3 month and every 6 months within 2 years of procedure, Holter every 1 year after 2 years of procedure and ECG and monitoring with a Holter or an event recorder will be performed at any time if the patient complains of symptoms;Incidence of procedure-related complications within 30 days of procedure (thoracotomy, cerebral infarction, pericardial effusion or pericardial tamponade, inguinal puncture site hematoma, and vascular complications);Clinical recurrence rate - Defined as AF or atrial tachycardia lasting over 30 seconds after 3 months of procedure.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Comparison of procedure time, ablation time and hospitalization period;Anti-arrhythmic drug or anticoagulation therapy related complication rate;Re-hospitalization rate and number of electrical cardioverson after the procedure;Major cardiovascular event rate - Death, myocardial infarction, coronary angioplasty, and re-hospitalization for arrhythmia and heart failure
