Radiofrequency catheter ablation is an effective alternative to medical therapy for patients
with supraventricular arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to determine the risks to the …

We report the incidence of cardiovascular complications in patients receiving RF catheter
ablation for supraventricular tachyarrhythmias. To reduce the incidence of complications, a …

Radiofrequency catheter ablation has revolutionized the management of patients with
supraventricular tachycardias. Although initial reports were very favourable, it is becoming …

The objective of this study was to identify factors that predict fluoroscopy duration and
radiation exposure during catheter ablation procedures. The patient population included …

Prolonged exposure to radiation during radiofrequency catheter ablation implies a potential
risk of radiodermatitis, neoplasm and genetic defects to the patient and to the operator …

Radio frequency (RF) catheter ablation has developed into a new non-pharmacological
therapy for the definitive treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. Although an …

Background—Radiofrequency ablation may be associated with prolonged fluoroscopy
times. Previous studies have calculated radiation risks by measuring the radiation dose at a …

Recently, transvenous catheter ablation using radiofrequency impulses has been applied in
experimental animals as well as in humans. This review describes the biophysics …

Percutaneous catheter ablation using radiofrequency energy can be used to interrupt
atrioventricular (AV) conduction in patients with supraventricular tachycardia refractory to …

Radiofrequency current was introduced as an alternative energy source for transcatheter
ablation of cardiac arrhythmias to avoid the complications associated with direct current …
