Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia and is a widespread disease, which has to be taken seriously in today's world. Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are particularly susceptible to developing AF. As adults with CHD now increasingly reach adulthood due to the great surgical progress, AF is becoming a significant and not to be underestimated challenge in everyday clinical practice, especially for this group of patients.Catheter ablation, which is now an indispensable therapeutic approach and has long been used as an efficient and safe method in the general population, also seems to be a promising method for adults with CHD.
The present work examines the safety, feasibility and long-term success rates of catheter ablation for AF in adults with CHD on uninterrupted oral anticoagulation.
