  Purpose

Adenosine is used clinically to assess permanency of electrical isolation of pulmonary veins during atrial fibrillation ablation, however, the methodology has not been validated either in terms of the reproducibility of the adenosine response or the effect on clinical outcomes, namely whether using pulmonary vein reconnection to guide additional ablation lowers rate recurrent atrial fibrillation post ablation. Study will test the hypothesis that the response to adenosine used in this manner is reproducible over time.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Pulmonary vein reconnection [ Time Frame: 5 minutes post infusion first dose adenosine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    In treatment group, 30 minutes after all veins confirmed to be isolated with lasso catheter, 12 mg IV adenosine will be given to treatment group subjects, will monitor with lasso catheter for pulmonary vein reconnection for 5 minutes.

  • Pulmonary vein reconnection [ Time Frame: 5 minutes post second dose of adenosine ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    In treatment group, 30 minutes after all veins confirmed to be isolated with lasso catheter, 12 mg IV adenosine will be given to treatment group subjects, will monitor with lasso catheter for pulmonary vein reconnection for 5 minutes, if no reconnection, a second dose adenosine will be given and will monitor for additional 5 minutes for pulmonary vein reconnection.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • AF recurrence [ Time Frame: Assess at follow-up visits 1,3,6, 12 months post ablation ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    At 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 months post ablation routine clinic visits, will perform chart review to evaluate for adverse effects of procedure and or adenosine administration and AF recurrence.

  • Adverse effects atrial fibrillation ablation [ Time Frame: Assess at follow-up visits 1,3 6,12 months post ablation ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
    At 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 months post ablation routine clinic visits, will perform chart review to evaluate for adverse effects of procedure and or adenosine administration.

Arms Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Adenosine arm
25 patients will be randomized to received 2 doses of adenosine 12 mg IV, 5 minutes apart after pulmonary vein isolation. During this time, will monitor for pulmonary vein reconnection, second dose of adenosine will be given only if no reconnection after initial dose.
 Drug: Adenosine arm
In the adenosine arm, 25 patients will be randomized to received 2 doses of adenosine 12 mg IV, 5 minutes apart after pulmonary vein isolation. During this time, will monitor for pulmonary vein reconnection, second dose of adenosine will be given only if no reconnection after initial dose. In the observation arm, 25 patients will be randomized to 10 minute period of observation for pulmonary vein reconnection after documentation of pulmonary vein isolation.
No Intervention: Observation arm
25 patients will be randomized to 10 minute period of observation for pulmonary vein reconnection after documentation of pulmonary vein isolation. This will serve as the control arm.

Detailed Description:

Patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation as part of atrial fibrillation ablation will be randomized to treatment and control groups. Treatment group subjects will received 12 mg IV adenosine to evaluate pulmonary vein reconnection after initial electrical isolation is documented. If electrical reconnection is not observed at 5 minutes, a second dose of adenosine will be administered, monitoring again for electrical reconnection. Control patients will be observed for 10 minutes post initial electrical isolation of the pulmonary vein for spontaneous electrical reconnection. If reconnection is observed, veins will be re-isolated per standard clinical practice. This procedure will be repeated for each of a patient's pulmonary veins. Patients will be followed up at clinical visits to examine for adverse effects of procedure and/or adenosine administration as well as atrial fibrillation recurrence.
