Abstract

Introduction: Previous studies of invasive cardiac electrophysiology (EP) and radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFA) concluded that procedures can be safely performed successfully in selected groups of patients, by experienced staff, without on-site cardiothoracic surgery back-up. We aim to report a single centre experience.
