Key result
Catheter ablation of left atrial tachycardia without fluoroscopy successfully restored left ventricular function (LVEF improved from 0.40 to normal) in a pregnant woman.
Why the study?
Is catheter ablation of left atrial tachycardia using ICE and electroanatomical guidance without fluoroscopy feasible in pregnant women?
Case Report (n=1)
Is catheter ablation of left atrial tachycardia using ICE and electroanatomical guidance without fluoroscopy feasible in pregnant women?
Catheter ablation of left atrial tachycardia using ICE and electroanatomical mapping without fluoroscopy is feasible and safe in pregnant women.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support zero-fluoroscopy ablation in pregnant patients; leaves open prospective validation before wider adoption.
Ferguson et al. (2010) conducted a case report in Incessant left atrial tachycardia (n=1). Catheter ablation using intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and electroanatomical mapping without fluoroscopy was evaluated on Successful ablation and normalization of left ventricular function. Catheter ablation of left atrial tachycardia without fluoroscopy successfully restored left ventricular function (LVEF improved from 0.40 to normal) in a pregnant woman.
