ABSTRACT
Recurrent atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation is observed in up to 50% of patients within 3 months. Early and multiple recurrences predict late recurrences within 1 year, which occurs in 20% to 50% of patients. Although no consensus exists regarding patient selection and timing of redo ablation, we refer symptomatic patients with multiple recurrences and persistent atrial fibrillation for ablation. Reisolation of reconnected pulmonary veins and ablation of nonpulmonary vein triggers is the primary ablation strategy. In addition to repeat ablation, we recommend weight loss, treatment of sleep-disordered breathing, and management of comorbid conditions for durable maintenance of sinus rhythm.
