Extra-Pulmonary Vein Triggers at de novo and the Repeat Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation
Background: Extra-pulmonary vein triggers can play a significant role in atrial fibrillation recurrence after catheter ablation. We explored the characteristics of the extra-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers in de novo and repeat atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation (AFCA).Methods: We included 2,11...

All included patients underwent isoproterenol provocation tests at the end of the procedure, and then we analyzed extra-PV triggers-related factors.Results: Extra-PV triggers were documented in 11.7% of patients undergoing de novo AFCA (1.22 ± 0.46 foci per patient) and 28.6% undergoing repeat AFCA (1.49 ± 0.73 foci per patient). Older age and higher LA volume index in de novo procedures and women, diabetes, and higher parasympathetic nerve activity (heart rate variability) in repeat-AFCA were independently associated with the existence of extra-PV triggers. The septum (19.9%), coronary sinus (14.7%), and superior vena cava (11.2%) were common extra-PV foci.
