Implication
Supports feasibility of novel mapping for EAT ablation in select cases; hypothesis-generating, requiring prospective validation before broader adoption.
Structured PICO
Does a novel electromagnetic catheter-based mapping system allow for accurate electroanatomical mapping and successful ablation of ectopic atrial tachycardia?
P
Population
12 patients undergoing electroanatomical mapping of the right atrium, including 4 with ectopic atrial tachycardia and 1 with previous atrial septal repair.
I
Intervention
Novel electromagnetic catheter-based mapping system for three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping and ablation.
O
Outcome
Reconstruction of three-dimensional maps, depiction of anatomical landmarks, identification of earliest endocardial activation, and successful ablation.surrogate
A novel three-dimensional electromagnetic catheter mapping system accurately reconstructs right atrial geometry and activation sequences, facilitating precise and successful ablation of ectopic atrial tachycardias.
