Overview

Highlights need for expanded EP infrastructure planning; extends national registry trends across South-Western Europe.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients undergoing catheter ablation procedures recorded in 3 national registries (Spain, Portugal, Italy) between 2000 and 2005
I
Intervention
Radiofrequency catheter ablation
O
Outcome
Diffusion of catheter ablation procedures in clinical practice (total number of procedures)

This meta-analysis of national registries demonstrates a steady increase in the utilization of catheter ablation procedures in South-Western Europe between 2000 and 2005.

Limitations

  • Lack of data on clinical indications, methodologic approach, complications, and long-term success rate in the real world
