Early recurrences of atrial arrhythmias (ERAA) after ablation are common and predict late recurrences and ablation failure.However,becausea proportion of patients with ERAA will have no subsequent arrhythmias after the blanking period, consensus guidelines recommend against immediate repeat ablation for ERAA episodes occurring during the first 3 months post-ablation. In this review, we summarize the predictors, significance, and treatment of ERAA after AF ablation.
