Does organized atrial tachycardia after a pulmonary vein isolation-only procedure portend better outcome of repeat ablation compared to recurrent atrial fibrillation?

The difference in success rate of redo procedures and recurrence‐free survival did not reach statistical significance between patients with paroxysmal versus persistent AF recurrence after index PVI (56% vs. 43%, p = .14 and 58.83 ± 5.58 vs. 28.9 ± 4.69 months, respectively, p = .093), but paroxysmal AF recurrence was associated with a higher rate of successful rhythm control (92% vs. 68%, p < .0002) (Figure 1 ). 4.
