Abstract
Electrical connection between IPVs is uniformly demonstrated before any ablation. Two-thirds of the IPVs are connected after antral PVI, and carina ablation decreases IPV connection. Connected IPVs consistently show the same response to adenosine challenge; therefore, a single catheter positioned in either of the IPVs with electrical connection is sufficient to confirm reconnection in both veins.
