Novel Interventional Strategies for the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation

Arrhythm Electrophysiol Rev. 2016 May;5(1):50-6. doi: 10.15420/aer.2015.23.3.

Abstract

The landscape of the invasive management of atrial fibrillation, the most common sustained arrhythmia in humans, has changed dramatically in the last decade owing to numerous advances in arrhythmia mapping and ablation technologies. The current review critically appraises novel interventional strategies for the treatment of atrial fibrillation with a focus on clinical effectiveness and safety.
