Pulmonary vein reconnection after electrical isolation is commonly observed in the context of atrial fibrillation ablation and is associated with recurrent atrial tachyarrhythmias. Adenosine test was been performed to identify acute dormant conduction immediately after pulmonary vein isolation at index procedure. However, the utility of adenosine test at repeat procedure has not been reported.
