Introduction: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation by catheter ablation is an increasingly used
strategy to treat atrial fibrillation (AF). Complication rates from AF ablation reported in …

The advent of catheter ablation has revolutionized the treatment of supraventricular cardiac
arrhythmias, including in the last few years, atrial fibrillation. The discovery of electrically …

Background Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) including pulmonary vein isolation
and possibly further substrate ablation is the most common electrophysiological procedure …

Background Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is a well-established treatment of atrial fibrillation
(AF), with contact force (CF)–sensing catheters joining 3-dimensional mapping systems and …

Objectives: This study sought to assess the incidence and outcomes of life-threatening
complications from atrial fibrillation ablations in a high volume center. Background: With …

Complications are inherent to any invasive procedure. The list of complications associated
with catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation has steadily increased with the increase in …

Background Pulmonary vein antral isolation (PVAI) is an effective treatment for atrial
fibrillation and involves prolonged procedure and fluoroscopy times. This study assesses the …
