LGE CMR should not guide gap detection in repeat LA ablation; leaves open its utility pending prospective validation.
Does LGE CMR reliably predict sites of electrical conduction in patients undergoing repeat LA ablation?
LGE CMR is unable to reliably predict sites of electrical conduction or gaps in ablation lesions in patients undergoing repeat left atrial ablation.
