  • Title: Drugs vs. ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation: the evidence supporting catheter ablation.
    Author: Nault I, Miyazaki S, Forclaz A, Wright M, Jadidi A, Jaïs P, Hocini M, Haïssaguerre M.
    Journal: Eur Heart J; 2010 May; 31(9):1046-54. PubMed ID: 20332181.
    Abstract:
    Treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a controversial matter. Catheter ablation is increasingly being used to treat patients with AF, and recent studies have reported success rates >80% for paroxysmal AF and >70% for persistent AF. The purpose of this work is to review the evidence supporting catheter ablation and compare it with pharmacological treatment in the management of AF.
