About

The purpose of this study is to compare single groin puncture and bilateral groin puncture during AF ablation procedure. The investigators will compare 1) the degree of patients' discomfort during hemostasis by questionaire, 2) procedure time, 3) complication rates, and 4) 1-year clinical recurrence rate of AF.
