Acute Pulmonary Vein Reconnection after Ablation using Contact-force Sensing Catheters: Incidence Timing and Ablation Lesion Characteristics.

摘要

Background:Acute pulmonary vein (PV) reconnection predicts atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after ablation. Contact-force (CF) sensing catheters improve lesion delivery. We assessed the incidence, timing, location, and lesion characteristics of acute reconnection after PV isolation with CF sensing catheters.
