Post ablation protocol
pericardial effusion
PERICARDIAL EFFUSION, COMPLICATIONS
Atrioventricular conduction was monitored for 15 minutes after the last RF application. All patients underwent a focussed echocardiogram postprocedure to rule out a pericardial effusion and were monitored according to the local protocol. If there were no adverse events/complications, they were discharged on the same day. Anticoagulation was restarted 6 hours after the procedure if there were no complications. Patients were followed up in the device clinic at 6 weeks.
