Evaluation of stroke incidence with duty‐cycled multielectrode‐phased radiofrequency ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation results of the VICTORY AF Study

The VICTORY AF Study was designed to evaluate the risk of the procedure and/or device‐related strokes in patients with PersAF on warfarin undergoing ablation with a phased radiofrequency (RF) system.
