Very long-term results of atrial fibrillation ablation confirm that this therapy is really effective

Catheter ablation -in general- is a highly effective and "curative" intervention for a broad spectrum of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. After a successful procedure eliminating a simple arrhythmia substrate, the recurrence rate is low and the short term success correlates well with the long term freedom from the arrhythmia
