Vein damage during the procedure happens to one in 500 patients. A small surgery is required to repair the vein when this occurs. Another surgical risk during ablation for atrial flutter is the possibility of blood filling the sac around the heart. This occurs in approximately one out of 200...
A-fib ablation is a procedure that uses energy to burn a small area of heart tissue. This creates scar tissue and prevents electrical signals that cause A-fib. You may need this procedure more than 1 time. Ask for more information on A-fib ablation. A pacemaker may be inserted into your...

Studies are needed to define the physiology of AF termination, particularly if it occurs after extensive ablation and/or to atrial tachycardia,31 and if this is equivalent to termination to sinus rhythm (Figure 4). The CONFIRM trial (CONventional ablation with or without Focal Im...

Class IC/Amiodarone Atrial Flutter: What Are the Long-Term Results of Radiofrequency Ablation?Atrial fibrillation is the most frequent arrhythmia in clinical practice. Its prevalence varies from 0.5% to 9% [1] of the general population between 50 and 80 years of age. It may appear in the ...
