LONG-TERM OUTCOMES OF CATHETER ABLATION PULMONARY VEINS ON EXAMPLE OF A CLINICAL CASE PATIENT WITH PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

Abstract

Catheter ablation of the pulmonary veins is the method of choice for the treatment of patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). However, there are may be complications or recurrence of AF paroxysms and as we have described in our clinical case 2 after ablation really important to conclude that ablation does not eliminate drug therapy, but modifies it.
