Integrated imaging feasible for right free wall AP ablation; leaves open efficacy versus standard mapping in larger cohorts.
Accessory pathway ablation has become routine. Although most cases do not require the use of complex mapping systems, some are difficult to ablate using conventional means. We report the first human experience with integration between intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and electroanatomical imaging, using a novel mapping system (CARTOSOUND™; Biosense Webster), in a 28-year-old man with WPW who failed prior ablation using conventional mapping. An ICE probe with a CARTO navigation sensor imbedded close to the phased array …

Khaykin et al. (2007) conducted a case report in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome (n=1). Integration of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) and 3D electroanatomical imaging (CARTOSOUND) vs. Conventional mapping (historical) was evaluated. Real-time integration of intracardiac echocardiography and 3D electroanatomical imaging was used to guide right free wall accessory pathway ablation in a 28-year-old man with WPW.
