Early pulmonary vein reconnection as a predictor of left atrial ablation outcomes for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Abstract

In patients with paroxysmal AF undergoing a single ablation procedure, PVR 30 min after the initial PVI is associated with late AF recurrence. However, the strategy of 30 min waiting and reablating does not appear to be superior to immediate termination of the procedure after initial PVI.
