Assessing the perforation site of cardiac tamponade during radiofrequency catheter ablation using gas analysis of pericardial effusion

Background: The incidence of pericardial effusion (PE) during radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation is approximately 1%. PE is a major complication during CA, but there has been limited literature about the perforation site responsible. Objective: This study aimed to retrospe...
