A single catheter technique is feasible and efficient for AF-redo procedures. Integrating the 3D-LAWT map into the navigation system allows a direct periprocedural estimation of the WT at any point of the LA. Reconnection points were more frequently present in thicker segments of the PV line. The use of 3D-LAWT maps can facilitate reconnection point identification during AF-redo ablation.
