Does RF catheter ablation safely and effectively treat patients with drug refractory atrial tachycardias and atrial flutter?
RF catheter ablation is a promising, safe, and effective technique for treating drug-refractory atrial tachycardias and flutter without requiring His-bundle ablation and permanent pacing.
Lesh et al. (1994) studied this question.
