Radiofrequency catheter ablation prior to percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with atrial fibrillation coexisting with stable coronary artery disease: a single-center pilot study

Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently coexists with cardiovascular disease (CAD) in a clinical setting. However, the optimum therapy for AF patients who have concomitant CAD is unclear. We retrospectively examined the efficacy and safety of radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) prior to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with AF who had concomitant stable CAD. Between January 2014 and December 2015, a total 264 patients (179...
