Brief Summary: Patient Population Patients with AF that is symptomatic and refractory to at least one antiarrhythmic medication Patients must have AF that is paroxysmal 4 episodes within 6 months two episodes 6 hours within 1 year or persistent sustained episode 6 months terminated by cardioversion or drug

Purpose To compare a trigger-based technique pulmonary vein isolation to a substrate-based technique high-frequency fractionated EGMs to a combined approach for AF ablation
Detailed Description: Interventions Patients will be randomized to either wide circumferential pulmonary vein isolation trigger or ablation of high-frequency fractionated electrograms during AF substrate or a hybrid approach combining trigger and substrate Both techniques will be performed with NavX mapping system and a standardized ablation catheter Endpoint of PVI will be isolation of all four PVs documented by circular catheter Endpoint for substrate-based ablation will be termination and noninducibility of AF Up to 2 procedures will be allowed within 6 months A 2 month blanking period will be allowed after each procedure during which early recurrences will not be counted

Outcomes

Recurrence of atrial fibrillation or other atrial tachycardia at 3 6 and 12 months post-initial procedure
Recurrence will be defined by symptoms andor ECGHolter data showing AF 2 mins
Occurrence of adverse events in each group post-procedure
Quality of life assessment at 6 and 12 months post-initial procedure

Followup

3 6 and 12 months post-initial procedure
Clinical data ECG Holter loop recorder at baseline and at each visit
QOL at baseline 3 6 and 12 months post-initial procedure
