Ischemic Stroke or Systemic Embolism After Transseptal Ablation of Arrhythmias in Patients With Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

Ischemic Stroke or Systemic Embolism After Transseptal Ablation of Arrhythmias in Patients With Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices

BackgroundIncidental mobile thrombi are commonly found on endovascular leads of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). Transseptal puncture for catheter ablation of arrhythmia poses a risk for paradoxical embolism. We examined risk of ischemic stroke, transient ischemic attack (TIA), or sys...
