Impact of targeting adenosine-induced transient venous reconnection in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation: a meta-analysis of 3524 patients

Conclusion: Additional ablation aiming to eliminate adenosine-induced transient pulmonary vein reconnection failed to reduce the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence at follow-up. Moreover, although adenosine-guided PVI is not affected by an augmented risk of adverse events, it is associated with a NS increased fluoroscopy exposure and significantly longer procedure duration. Further studies are required to identify the actual role of adenosine in PVI.
