After AF terminated to AT, patients were separated by the randomization protocol to receive either direct cardioversion (group A) or further ablation of subsequent ATs to sinus rhythm (group B).

Moreover, recurrences of AF were significantly less frequent of group B than in group A patients (10 [19%] versus 26 [49%]; P=0.001).
