Abstract: HotBalloon-based pulmonary vein isolation (HBPVI) has yielded encouraging clinical results in the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). Balloon ablation requires a larger sheath, which raises the concern for a persistent iatrogenic atrial septal defect (iASD).… read more here.

Abstract: Since pulmonary vein isolation for treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) was introduced in 1990s, several unexpected complications, including atrioesophageal fistula, pulmonary vein stenosis, and stiff left atrial syndrome, have been discovered in those who apparently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10840-019-00598-9
Abstract: Iatrogenic atrial septal defect (IASD) after catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) due to transseptal puncture (TSP) can occur. The aim of this prospective study was to describe the incidence of IASD and to… read more here.
