MDCT may aid preprocedural planning for AF ablation; leaves open prospective outcome validation.
Preprocedural 3D multi-detector row CT provides essential anatomic information of the left atrium and pulmonary veins to guide successful radio-frequency catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation.
Lacomis et al. (2003) conducted a review in Atrial Fibrillation. Multi-detector row CT was evaluated. Multi-detector row CT provides essential preprocedural anatomic information of the left atrium and pulmonary veins for successful radio-frequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
