Previous studies reported that ablation of low‐voltage areas (LVAs) after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) improves the success rate in persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF) patients with LVAs. However, the need for LVA ablation in addition to the posterior left atrial isolation, Box isolation (BOXI), for PerAF is unclear. We evaluated the effects of LVA ablation after BOXI for PerAF with LVAs.
