Procedural characteristics and complications
A comparison of procedural characteristics between the two groups is shown in Table 3. All ablation procedures were successfully completed. There was no difference in the mean procedure time or mean fluoroscopic time between the two groups. Moreover, the strategies for CA did not differ between the two groups.
Among the periprocedural complications listed in Table 3, there was no significant difference in the rate of procedure-related complications between the two groups. In the transplant group, one recipient suffered a minor groin hematoma. In the control group, one patient suffered a minor groin hematoma, and one patient developed a small pseudoaneurysm. Importantly, there was no procedure-related thromboembolism or major bleeding in the two groups.
