Fluoroscopy-free AF ablation using transesophageal echocardiography and electroanatomical mapping technology.

Purpose: Guidelines recommend that radiation exposure during AF catheter ablation procedures should be 'as low as reasonably achievable' (ALARA), particularly since many patients may have multiple procedures. Consequently, avoiding radiation exposure altogether must, if safe to do so, be the ultimate goal. The primary objective was to determine the feasibility and efficacy of fluoroscopy-free AF ablation compared to the fluoroscopy-assisted procedure.

Purpose: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias carries a small but non-negligible radiation risk. Studies in children already showed the feasibility of using three-dimensional mapping systems as the primary guide for catheter visualization and positioning in these RFCAs. We aim to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of such an approach in young and middle-aged patients.

Unlabelled: Rate-dependent block in the sinus venosa.
Introduction: Whether the crista terminalis or the sinus venosa result in rate-dependent block during transverse activation of the right atrial activation remains unknown. In the present study, right atrial activation at different cycle lengths was studied in the swine heart using high-resolution noncontact mapping (Endocardial Solutions).
