Cardiac Tamponade complicating Ventricular Arrythmia Ablation: real life data on incidence, management and outcome.

Cardiac tamponade during ventricular ablation occurred in 1.5% of the procedures. In nine patients cardiac repair was necessary. Perforation was mostly associated with subxiphoid puncture or ablation of the basal left ventricle. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
