Thromboembolic complications resulting from radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) have an overall incidence of 0.6%. Multiple intracardiac catheters are often necessary for electrophysiological study and RFCA therapy. Therefore, the placement of multiple venous sheaths in one femoral vein is always required for multiple intracardiac catheter insertion. The safety of the placement of multiple separate venous sheaths has been studied previously in a non-randomized study, but the placement of multiple sheaths via one venous line has not been fully studied.
