DiscussionThis is the first demonstration of clinical AF therapy based on the detection and targeted ablation of sustaining rotors. In this 63-year-old gentleman with persistent AF for at least 10 months despite prior Maze and then endocardial ablation procedures, novel computational mapping revealed sustained rotors in the right and left atria. Targeted (FIRM) ablation at each rotor abruptly terminated AF to sinus rhythm. This was achieved rapidly prior to any PV mapping or ablation. The patient isConclusions
