Cardiol Rev. 2005 Mar-Apr;13(2):87-94. doi: 10.1097/01.crd.0000134913.85760.58.

Abstract

In the recent years, many investigators have proved the efficacy and safety of catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Further studies would be necessary to decrease the recurrence rate and complication rate, and make the procedure more simple.
