Ultrasound-guided access reduced vascular complications by 89%, known complications like hematomas and AV-fistulas decreased significantly.
In the study period, complications were 3.8% in landmark-guided procedures versus 0.4% in ultrasound-guided procedures, showcasing a marked improvement.
Analysis encompassed 1119 procedures, where risk factors like ACT and HASBLED score importantly predicted vascular complications.
Findings emphasize the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance in minimizing risks during catheter ablation, promoting safer cardiovascular workflows.
