Why the study?
What are the common sites of late pulmonary vein re-conduction in patients with paroxysmal AF who undergo a second ablation session after an initial PVI with ATP provocation?
Population
110 consecutive drug-refractory paroxysmal atrial fibrillation patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
27.1 months

The carina region remains a dominant site for late pulmonary vein re-conduction even after successful elimination of ATP-provoked dormant conduction during the initial ablation.
