Key result
Catheter ablation achieves ~96% immediate success with no reported complications in a public tertiary hospital.
Why the study?
The Ministry of Health of Peru established the first national electrophysiology center to provide catheter ablation access to underserved populations, but outcomes and safety data were not described.

Supports feasibility of ablation in Peru's first public EP center; leaves open questions on long-term outcomes and scalability in similar settings.
Observational (n=53)
No
Catheter ablation in a newly established public electrophysiology center in Peru demonstrated high immediate success (96.4%) and safety, comparable to international standards.
Montañez-Valverde et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Arrhythmias requiring catheter ablation (n=53). Catheter ablation was evaluated on Overall immediate success rate. Catheter ablation performed at a public tertiary referral hospital in Peru achieved an overall immediate success rate of 96.4% with no reported complications.
