Repeat ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation – Does adenosine play a role in predicting pulmonary vein reconnection patterns?
Background: Pulmonary vein (PV) reconduction after PV isolation (PVI) unmasked by adenosine is associated with a higher risk for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) recurrence. It is unknown if the reconnected PVs after adenosine testing and immediate re-ablation can predict reconnection and reconn...
