Outcomes after redo ablation for the recurrence of atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Given the high prevalence of PV reconnections in patients with AF recurrence, re-isolation of the PVs remains the primary approach at repeat ablations, while additional ablative strategies are employed less frequently than anticipated. A shorter interval between the initial and redo ablation procedures was associated with reduced subsequent recurrence rates.
