Title: Differences in success of repeat ablation procedure for recurrent atrial fibrillation after two different ablation strategies: Results from a prospective randomized study comparing pulmonary vein isolation versus circumferential pulmonary vein ablation
Abstract: Background: Both, the electric isolation of pulmonary veins (PVI) and the circumferential pulmonary vein ablation (CPVA) have emerged as a curative therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, repeat ablations are necessary after either of the techniques in approximately 10–30% of the patients. We wanted to assess the clinical value of repeat ablation after PVI and CPVA.
