Optimizing Ablation Duration using Dormant Conduction 135 6 Figure 2. Safety profile of the different ablation groups. One-year AF-free survival off anti-arrhythmic drugs, percentage of reconnection(RC)/dormant conduction(DC) (per patient), aborted ablations (per patient), phrenic nerve palsy and repeated procedures across the different groups. There were no significant difference in single-procedure success off AAD, aborted ablations and phrenic nerve palsy (PNP), however significant differences were seen in the percentage of reconnection/dormant conduction (p<0.001) and repeated procedures (p=0.041). PNP=phrenic nerve palsy, RC/DC=reconnection and dormant conduction and TTI=time-to-isolation.
