Key result
Catheter ablation guided by a non-contact mapping system safely eliminated sustained atrial tachycardia, with 88.9% (8 of 9) of patients remaining asymptomatic over 16 months of follow-up.

Supports non-contact mapping-guided ablation in sustained atrial tachycardia; leaves open its role for non-sustained focal right atrial tachycardia.

Does catheter ablation guided by a non-contact mapping system prevent recurrence in patients with non-sustained focal right atrial tachycardia?
Catheter ablation guided by non-contact mapping is safe and effective for eliminating sustained atrial tachycardia that presents as non-sustained during electrophysiological studies.
Wieczorek et al. (2011) conducted an observational in Non-sustained focal right atrial tachycardia (n=9). Catheter ablation guided by a non-contact mapping system was evaluated on Elimination of sustained atrial tachycardia (remaining asymptomatic). Catheter ablation guided by a non-contact mapping system safely eliminated sustained atrial tachycardia, with 88.9% (8 of 9) of patients remaining asymptomatic over 16 months of follow-up.
