Impact of Non-Pulmonary Vein Foci on the Outcome of the Second Session of Catheter Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Impact of Non‐PV AF Foci on the Second Catheter Ablation for PAF Background Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is primarily triggered by pulmonary veins (PVs). However, non‐PV AF foci may also trigger AF. Methods We examined 207 patients (mean age, 62 ± 11 years; 166 men) who underwent a second cat...
