Summary

The trend continued from 2014 to 2016 concerning the number of catheter ablations in Hungary. While the number of conventional ablations increased slightly, there was an exponential increase in the number of complex interventions and in the number of pulmonary vein isolations. In this paper, we present the number of ablations performed in the years mentioned above and we compare the Central and Eastern European data, and the performance of each Hungarian centers.
