Early recurrences of atrial arrhythmias after ablation are common and predict late recurrences, but consensus guidelines recommend against immediate repeat ablation during the 3-month blanking period.
ERAA occurring later in the blanking period or as multiple episodes strongly predicts late AF recurrence, suggesting that the standard 3-month blanking period and avoidance of early re-ablation may need to be reconsidered for certain patients.
Early recurrences of atrial arrhythmias (ERAA) after ablation are common and predict late recurrences and ablation failure.However,becausea proportion of patients with ERAA will have no subsequent arrhythmias after the blanking period, consensus guidelines recommend against immediate repeat ablation for ERAA episodes occurring during the first 3 months post-ablation. In this review, we summarize the predictors, significance, and treatment of ERAA after AF ablation.
Sanjay Dixit (Thu,) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Catheter Ablation was evaluated. Early recurrences of atrial arrhythmias after ablation are common and predict late recurrences, but consensus guidelines recommend against immediate repeat ablation during the 3-month blanking period.
