A Pilot Trial to Compare the Long-Term Efficacy of Pulmonary Vein Isolation with High-Power Short-Duration Radiofrequency Versus Laser Energy with Rapid Ablation Mode

A Pilot Trial to Compare the Long-Term Efficacy of Pulmonary Vein Isolation with High-Power Short-Duration Radiofrequency Versus Laser Energy with Rapid Ablation Mode

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)....
