Abstract

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of steroids on ischemic complications after radiofrequency ablation.MethodsA total of 58 patients with ischemic complications were divided into two groups according to corticosteroid use or non‐use.ResultsA 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).ConclusionsSteroid administration for ischemic complications after radiofrequency ablation may reduce the risk of fatal outcomes by blocking systemic inflammatory reactions.
