Abstract

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation has made huge progress with respect to innovation, efficacy, and safety, however, complications are still present. Recent studies examined various predictors of complications. However, limited data exist regarding the role of a repeat procedure. Our aim was the prospective evaluation of the incidence and predictors of complications related to AF ablation procedures in consecutive patients, including repeat procedures.
