ABSTRACT

AIM:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of steroids on ischemic complications after radiofrequency ablation.

METHODS:

A total of 58 patients with ischemic complications were divided into two groups according to corticosteroid use or non-use.

RESULTS:

A total of 13 patients who were administered steroids had a shorter duration of fever than those who were not administered steroids (median 6.0 vs. 2.0 days; p < 0.001). Linear regression analysis showed that steroid administration was associated with a reduction of 3.9 days in the duration of fever (p = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS:

Steroid administration for ischemic complications after radiofrequency ablation may reduce the risk of fatal outcomes by blocking systemic inflammatory reactions.
