The ERAT occurred in 49.0% of patients within the first 3 months after surgical ablation. The occurrence of ERAT within 3 months after surgical AF ablation was a significant independent predictor of LR. Hence, the currently accepted 3-month blanking period may be considered for redefining in patients with AF surgical ablation.
