This review discusses the current role, techniques, and outcomes of atrioventricular junction ablation and pacemaker implantation for atrial fibrillation.
This review explores the current techniques of atrioventricular junction ablation, pacemaker prescription and implant, the role of anti-arrhythmic drugs, long-term outcomes, potential complications and adverse effects (including sudden cardiac death), and how these may be overcome, and examines the alternative strategies that are now available.
