Sequelae After AF Ablation: Efficacy and Safety go Hand in Hand

Sequelae After AF Ablation: Efficacy and Safety go Hand in Hand

Although nowadays performed on a routine basis, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation is associated with the potential for major complications. Improving the safety remains therefore an important challenge. This article summarizes the different types of complications associated with AF ablation g...
