Abstract

Pulmonary vein reconnection (PVR) still determines recurrences of atrial fibrillation after contact force (CF)-guided pulmonary vein isolation. We studied whether acute PVR (adenosine and waiting time) and late PVR (at repeat) are explained by incomplete transmurality and contiguity within the deployed radiofrequency circle.
