Radiofrequency Ablation of AV node with permanent pacemaker has been used to achieve rate control in persistent symptomatic atrial fibrillation. Although RF Ablation is safe, complications may occur in up to 3% of the procedures. A rare complication of 2nd degree skin burn at indifferent electrode site has been described here. This report highlights the rare but possible complication in patients undergoing such a procedure and help in preventing by taking appropriate measures.
采用永久性起搏器进行房室结射频消融术已被用于控制持续性症状性心房颤动的心率。尽管射频消融术是安全的,但在高达3%的手术中可能会出现并发症。本文描述了一种罕见的并发症,即无关电极部位出现二度皮肤烧伤。本报告强调了接受此类手术的患者中这种罕见但可能出现的并发症,并有助于通过采取适当措施加以预防。
