Please correct me but does the above mean that only 18% of patients had successful PV isolation 3 months after the index procedure?? If so, looks very much like 2 goes are required - and more so than is the case with RFA?.

So anyone know if Natale is using this? Also, if so would he be combining it with the usual RF technique to ablate areas other than the PVs?Quote

That kind of success rate combined with the near total lack of complications (a single pericardial effusion in the whole study), the speed (avg. 92 minutes), the lack of need for general anesthesia, and the lack of risk to the esophagus and phrenic nerve makes this nothing short of huge. The afibbers out there who are considering ablation but haven't done it yet should seriously consider holding off until they can find a center that offers this.

So all participants had two complete procedures. The second consisting of remapping and PVI repair if needed. I didn’t see anywhere where they stated how many PVI isolations needed to be re-done during the follow up procedure.

Why did they use RFA for the second procedures?

The paper isn't written well. It's rather confusing and leaves out some important details, but the take away is that once they settled on using the biphasic 3 waveform they achieved 100% success. I don't believe any single patient received more than one type of waveform.

Because they have RF catheters that can do single burns with accuracy to close a small gap, but the PF catheters can't do that (yet).
