Arrhythmic complications after electrical cardioversion of acute atrial fibrillation: The FinCV study

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determined the incidence and risk factors of arrhythmic complications after electrical cardioversion of acute atrial fibrillation (AF) and implanted a permanent pacemaker in 24 patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Safety of new oral anticoagulants for patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation

TL;DR: In this group of AF patients undergoing CA, use of peri-procedure dabigatran or rivaroxaban compared to uninterrupted warfarin did not lead to an increase in bleeding or TE complications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Approaching a paradigm shift: endoscopic ablation of lone atrial fibrillation on the beating heart.

TL;DR: Endoscopic radiofrequency ablation on the beating heart reveals high success rates with low procedure-related morbidity and a randomized trial is advisable to compare this procedure with catheter ablation in certain patient subgroups.

Timing and Route of Amiodarone for Prevention of Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation after Cardiac Surgery: A Network Regression Meta‐analysis

TL;DR: This work attempted to evaluate if an oral‐only regimen was as effective in preventing postoperative atrial fibrillation after cardiac surgery, in comparison to a regimen that included intravenous administration using a network meta‐analysis of available data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk of atrial fibrillation, stroke, and death after radiofrequency catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter

TL;DR: The transition to AF after CTI AFL ablation was high during a long-term follow-up period and maintained over time, and patients who transitioned to AF had an increased risk of stroke and a more than twofold mortality rate.
