Acute AF termination includes termination to AT or sinus rhythm and is presented as ratio. Number of localized drivers, procedure duration, fluoroscopy duration, and RF duration are presented as mean±SD when available. AF indicates atrial fibrillation; AT, atrial tachycardia; PVI, pulmonary vein isolation; and RF, radiofrequency. Study by Atienza et al
