Video Summary

In the AFib Ablation Registry Monthly Case Scenario for December 2021, the focus is on coding attempts at atrial fibrillation (AFib) termination. Mr. Perez, who has a history of persistent AFib with rapid ventricular response, underwent a planned AFib ablation using pulmonary vein isolation. He also had an AV node ablation with pacemaker placement in the past. However, the AV node ablation with pacemaker placement is not considered an attempt to terminate AFib. It is performed for rate control and not to ablate the AFib rhythm. Therefore, in sequence 4410, the AV node ablation will not be captured as an attempt at atrial fibrillation termination. The correct answer is number one, no. This summary is based on the AFib Ablation Registry Monthly Case Scenario for December 2021.
