Abstract

Background: Pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection is the major cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). The probability of reconnection is higher if the primary lesion is not sufficiently effective, which can be unmasked with an adenosine provocation test (APT). High-power short-duration radiofrequency energy (HPSD) guided with ablation index (AI) and the ...
