PP-158 Coronary Sinus Can Be Target for Permanent Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Therapy?

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation is most common type of arrhythmias. During last few decades with lot of new advancements in electrophysiological field, we reached up to satisfactory outcomes for Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation with help of ablation procedures. But still most challenging type is chronic atrial fibrillation. Recurrence rate of atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic atrial fibrillation is very high that shows inadequacy of Pulmonary Veins Isolation. Since last few decades we are trying to understand insight of mechanism of atrial fibrillation, we conclude there must be some triggers and substrate other than pulmonary veins according to many studies have been described in literature that pulmonary veins isolation alone is not sufficient to deal with permanant atrial fibrillation. Purpose of our review is to summarize updates and to understand role of coronary sinus in induction, propagation and maintenance of atrial fibrillation.
