IMPACT OF CONTACT FORCE SENSING TECHNOLOGY ON ACUTE PROCEDURAL OUTCOMES AND CHRONIC PULMONARY VEIN RECONNECTION RATES IN PATIENTS WITH ATRIAL FIBRILLATION UNDERGOING CATHETER ABLATION

Chronic pulmonary vein reconnection (CPVR) remains a challenge in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients (pts) undergoing catheter ablation. Preventing CPVR may improve the long-term outcome of AF ablation. In this study, we report the impact of contact force sensing (CFS) technology on CPVR rates.
