Complications of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) has evolved as an effective treatment modality in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). However, complication rates associated with RFA of AF have been cited in the range of 3.5 - 5% with the majority consisting of cardiac tamponade, vascular complications, and thromboembolic phenomena. In this review, the complications of AF ablation will be discussed a...

any importance to thallium data even in these young patients. Nevertheless, it is open to speculation whether this important subgroup is characterized by a special anatomical substrate' or pathophysiological mechanism leading to an extraordinarily high degree of subendocardial ischaemia. Mainly because of methodological problems, ambulatory ST-monitoring seems to be of limited value for ischaem...
متن کاملRadiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Supraventricular Tachycardia
Radiofrequency catheter-mediated ablation is a recently developed technique of achieving cure of certain rhythm disorders, notably supraventricular tachycardia. In less than a decade, it has evolved from a theoretic concept to first line therapy for many patients, including those in the pediatric age group. The most common types of arrhythmias amenable to catheter ablation include supraventricu...

Frequent ventricular premature complexes (VPC) can result in left ventricular dysfunction. Several case reports have found this association and reversal with radiofrequency ablation [1-4]. Other peculiar problems reported to be due to VPCs and relieved by radiofrequency ablation include intermittent claudication [5], chronic cough with cough syncope [6,7] and dysphagia [8], mostly by the same g...

or paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia involving a concealed accessory AV connection underwent catheter ablation with the use of radiofrequency current. In 179 of the 250 patients, catheter ablation was performed at the time of an initial electrophysiology test. Two hundred thirty-five patients had one accessory AV connection and 15 patients had two or more. One hundred eighty-three accesso...
