Potential benefit of adenosine testing
Adenosine testing could be performed at the end of a standard waiting
period to further augment the already high rate of permanent cure of
atrial flutter, as it is used after PVI. This study tested its ability
to replace the waiting period. If we had terminated the waiting period
after each of the 128 negative adenosine tests, the procedure duration
would have been reduced from 42±12 to 27±12 minutes, a 36%
time-reduction.
