Abstract:
0 05 There was 1 case of cardiac tamponand and 1 case of 60% stenosis of the left superior PV associated with the procedure Conclusion ERAF after segmental PV isolation is common, occurring in approximately 39% of patients with paroxysmal AF However, approximately 35% of ERAF patients without early repeat ablation have no further AF during long term follow up It is suggested that temporary antiarrhymic drug therapy may be more appropriate than early repeat ablation in patients with ERAF
