BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. This study aimed to evaluate a short-term anti-inflammatory treatment with colchicine following ablation of AF.METHODS:Patients scheduled for ablation were randomized to receive colchicine 0.6 mg twice daily or placebo for 10 days.

Epicardial access is frequently required to target critical substrate during ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation. Pericardial adhesions are frequently observed in patients with prior epicardial ablation, cardiac surgery or history of pericarditis, but may also be found in 8% of patients undergoing first-time epicardial access.1
