Clinical Trial Summary

The superior vena cava (SVC) is one of the most common non pulmonary vein (PV)-triggers for atrial tachyarrhythmias. SVC electrical isolation can be reached by circular radiofrequency (RF)-ablation under close monitoring of the phrenic nerve. However, adding substrate modification and vein of Marshal (VoM) ethanol infusion to the ablation procedure might substantially improve long-term outcomes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the recurrence rate 1 year after the index ablation in patients undergoing a redo ablation for recurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) despite durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with either SVC isolation alone or with substrate modification including vein of Marshal ethanolisation in addition to SVC isolation alone
