Zero-fluoroscopy atrial fibrillation ablation in the presence of a patent foramen ovale: a multicentre experience

Conclusion The presence of a PFO may allow a completely fluoroless well tolerated and effective atrial fibrillation ablation. Probing the fossa ovalis looking for the PFO during the procedure is desirable, as it is not time-consuming and can potentially be done in every patient undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation.
