Reverse structural LA remodeling occurred in a quarter of patients with repeat ablation procedures for AF. Only larger LAVI during first procedure predicted reverse structural LA remodeling. Half of the patients experienced AT between first and last ablation procedure. Female gender, larger LAVI and larger scar area were significant predictors for AT after catheter ablation for AF.
