<h4>Introduction</h4>Cardiac tamponade is a rare but life-threatening complication during atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. Contact force (CF)-sensing catheters improve ablation effectiveness. However, the impact of the application of CF-sensing catheters on the occurrence of cardiac tamponade remains unclear. The aim of this study is to evaluate the "real-world" impact of CF-sensing catheters on cardiac tamponade during AF ablation in an experienced medical center.<h4>Methods and resu ...[more]
