Abstract:A rrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is not uncommon and frequently requires repeat ablation procedures. [1][2][3] However, the precise arrhythmia that recurs depends on the strategy that was used at the original session. Patients who undergo sole pulmonary vein (PV) isolation usually manifest recurrent AF. Patients who undergo substrate modification, in the form of electrogram based 4 or linear ablation, 5 frequently develop atrial tachycardia (AT) either durin… Show more
