Abstract Background: Catheter ablation is commonly performed to treat atrial arrhythmias in
adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Despite the frequency of ablations in the
ACHD population, predictors of recurrence remain poorly defined.
Objective: We sought to determine predictors of arrhythmia recurrence in ACHD
patients following catheter ablation for atrial arrhythmias.
Methods: We performed a retrospective study of all catheter ablations for atrial arrhythmias performed in ACHD patients between January 12, 2005 and February 11,
2015 at our institution. Prespecified exposures of interest and time from ablation to
recurrence were determined via chart review.
Results: Among 124 patients (mean age: 45… More >
