Does catheter ablation for AF have a higher risk of arrhythmia recurrence and complications in patients ≥ 75 years of age compared to younger patients?
Elderly patients (≥ 75 years) undergoing catheter ablation for AF face higher risks of arrhythmia recurrence and procedural complications than younger patients.
In patients ≥ 75 years of age, catheter ablation for AF has higher risk of arrhythmia recurrence and is associated with an increased risk of procedure-related complications and safety end point occurrence compared with younger patients.
Boehmer et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
