title: History of transcatheter atrial fibrillation ablation.
abstract: Transcatheter atrial fibrillation ablation has undergone an impetuous advance over the past decades, reaching satisfactory results concerning safety and medium-term efficacy. Several experimental studies have paved the way both to new ablative procedures and technologies development. The present work reviews the history of transcatheter atrial fibrillation ablation, offering a wide view of current catheter-delivered atrial fibrillation procedures.
