BACKGROUND: @entity15262 ( @entity15262 ) is not uncommon among @entity1 with an @entity737 ( @entity737 ) in situ. Catheter ablation (CA) may suppress the @entity943 in the acute setting and prevent @entity15262 recurrence. METHODS: Nineteen consecutive @entity1 with an @entity737 in situ presenting with @entity15262 underwent electrophysiologic study followed by CA. CA outcome was classified as complete success, if both clinical and non-clinical @entity591 were successfully ablated, partial success, if >= 1 non-clinical @entity591 were still inducible post CA and failure, if clinical @entity591 could not be abolished. @entity1 were followed-up for a median period (IQR) of 5.6 (1.8-13.7) months. Primary end-point was event-free survival from @entity15262 recurrence. Secondary end-point was event-free survival from the composite of @entity15262 and/or sustained @entity1165 ( @entity1165 ) recurrence. RESULTS: Clinical @entity943 was successfully ablated in 14 out of 19 (73.7%) cases after a single CA procedure. A completely successful CA outcome was associated with significantly increased @entity15262 -free survival compared to a partially successful or a failed procedure (Log rank P=0.039). Nevertheless, @entity1 with acute suppression of all @entity591 (n=11), compared to those with a partially successful or a failed CA procedure (n=8), did not differ in the incidence of the composite end-point of sustained @entity1165 or @entity15262 (Log rank P=0.278). CONCLUSIONS: A single CA procedure can acutely suppress the clinical @entity943 in three quarters of the cases. A completely successful CA outcome can prolong @entity15262 -free survival; however, @entity5 therapies could not be abrogated.
