Follow-up was performed by confirming available data obtained from routine practice at the 12-month (±30 days) post-operative visit. Mid-term data are from Day 91 after the procedure.
Denominator was the number of patients who underwent a repeat ablation procedure.
Denominator was the number of repeat ablation procedures.
Percentage was calculated as (number of PVs re-isolated amongst targeted PVs at repeat procedure/number of all targeted PVs at repeat procedure) × 100.
Percentage was calculated as (number of repeat ablation procedures identifying new foci outside of the initially isolated area amongst repeat ablation procedures/number of all repeat ablation procedures) × 100.
