Why the study?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation using the CARTO UNIVU system reduce fluoroscopy exposure and catheter use compared to CARTO 3 in children with left-sided accessory pathways?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation using the CARTO UNIVU system reduce fluoroscopy exposure and catheter use compared to CARTO 3 in children with left-sided accessory pathways?
The use of a fluoroscopy-integrated 3D-mapping system (CARTO UNIVU) for left-sided accessory pathway ablation in children is safe, highly effective, and significantly reduces radiation exposure compared to standard 3D mapping.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May reduce fluoroscopy and catheters in pediatric left AP ablation; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
