#EHRAtopicweek on complications in EP
Serious complications after AF ablation are uncommon and have declined over the last decade.
Recent studies show that:
⚡AF ablation has become safer over the past decade.
⚡Major complications remain uncommon after AF and AFL ablation.
⚡More complex procedures carry higher risks—VT ablation has ~5-fold higher complication rates than AF/AFL ablation.
⚡Growing procedural complexity has contributed to a modest increase in overall complication rates across EP procedures.
⚡Accurate complication reporting matters—and individual case review remains key.
Modern EP is safer than ever—but not simpler. ❤️🩹

📢 In the CHAMPION-AF trial, 3,000 patients with #AFib suitable for #DOAC therapy were randomized to #LAAO or DOACs.
At 3 years, LAAO was noninferior for the composite of CV death, stroke, or systemic embolism (5.7% vs 4.8%), while reducing non–procedure-related bleeding (10.9% vs 19.0%; HR 0.55)
