Does the Ensite 3000 noncontact mapping system allow for characterization and guidance of radiofrequency ablation for atrial reentrant tachycardias in patients after surgical correction of congenital heart disease?
The use of a noncontact mapping system effectively characterizes and guides radiofrequency ablation of medically resistant atrial reentrant tachycardias in patients with prior congenital heart surgery.
Paul et al. (2001) conducted an observational in Atrial reentrant tachycardia after surgical correction of congenital heart disease (n=14). Noncontact mapping system (Ensite 3000) guided radiofrequency ablation was evaluated on Termination of atrial reentrant tachycardia. Noncontact mapping guided effective radiofrequency ablation, terminating medically resistant atrial reentrant tachycardias in 12 of 14 patients (85.7%) after congenital heart disease surgery.
