Perforation during catheter procedures is relatively uncommon, but potentially fatal if tamponade ensues. This case analyzes the relationship between the occurrence of cardiac perforation during AF Radio Frequency ablation and the Ablation Index (AI), a single index value representing force, contact, time during Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) point-by-point encircling.
