High Predictive Value of Adenosine Provocation in Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence After Pulmonary Vein Isolation With Visually Guided Laser Balloon Compared With Radiofrequency Ablation.

CONCLUSIONS: There was significantly less recurrence of atrial arrhythmias at 12 months after PVI with VGLB. A negative APT after PVI with VGBL predicted freedom from AF with a very high NPV meaning that the high acute efficiency of the VGLB persisted long term.
