Atrial fibrillation - Who Needs Catheter Ablation And Which Approach?

Catheter ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF) has gained a significant role during maintenance of sinus rhythm compared to anti-arrhythmic medication. Catheter ablation techniques are also improved and progressed over years in parallel to better understanding of disease mechanisms and technological advancements. However, due to invasive nature of the therapy with its pertinent procedural risks, both appropriate patient selection and use of relevant approach should be considered by all electrophysiologists before decide to perform catheter ablation.
