Radio frequency catheter ablation is accepted therapy for patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and has a low rate of complications. For patients with atrial arrhythmias, catheter ablation of the His bundle has been an option when drugs fail or produce untoward side effects. Although preventing rapid ventricular response, this procedure requires a permanent pacemaker and does not restore the atrium to normal rhythm. Therefore, we evaluated the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation directed at the atrial substrate.
