Introduction: Utilizing a three-dimensional (3-D) mapping system and intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) has allowed ablation procedures with less or without fluoroscopy; however, there is limited data for patients with cardiac electronic implantable device (CIED) leads regarding the suspected risk of lead injury. Therefore, we sought to explore technics to perform safe trans-septal approach and catheter manipulation technique in patients with CIED leads.
Methods And Results: This study comprised 49 consecutive patients (59% males, median 73 years old) with CIED who underwent catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia requiring the trans-septal approach, 15 without fluoroscopy (zero-fluoro group), and 34 with fluoroscopy (conventional-fluoro group), between July 2019 and April 2021.
