Characterization of Conduction Recovery Across Left Atrial Linear Lesions in Patients with Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

Gaps in recovered LA lines were predominantly located close to the PVs where catheter stability is often difficult to achieve. Shorter RF durations are required for reablation of recovered linear lesions. Conduction times around complete LA lines are significantly longer in patients with persistent/permanent AF as compared to patients with paroxysmal AF.
