Implication
Operator experience may shorten fluoroscopy in remote navigation for complex CHD; hypothesis-generating, needs randomized confirmation.
Structured PICO
Does remote magnetic navigation reduce fluoroscopy time for atrial tachycardia mapping in postoperative patients with congenital heart disease?
P
Population
22 postoperative patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) undergoing atrial tachycardia mapping, classified into minor atrial surgery (n=7), Fontan operation (n=9), and Senning/Mustard operation (n=6).
I
Intervention
Remote magnetic navigation (RMN) in combination with electroanatomic mapping for atrial tachycardia mapping.
C
Comparator
Learning curve comparison (first 6 patients vs. last 9 patients) in the complex CHD group; no separate conventional mapping control group.
O
Outcome
Fluoroscopy time for mapping.surrogate
Remote magnetic navigation for atrial tachycardia mapping in patients with complex congenital heart disease anatomy significantly reduces fluoroscopy time as operator experience increases.
