The restoration of electrical conduction in injured, pulmonary vein (PV) tissue (dormant conduction) via adenosine-mediated hyperpolarization has been utilized to guide the need for additional ablation. The superior vena cava (SVC) and PVs have similar cardiac muscular extensions. We present a patient with recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein isolation. All PVs were found to be electrically isolated, before …
