Case Report (n=1)
Can AV node ablation and permanent ventricular pacemaker implantation be successfully performed without fluoroscopy using an electroanatomic navigation system in a patient with uncontrollable permanent atrial fibrillation?
This case demonstrates the feasibility of performing AV node ablation and permanent ventricular pacemaker implantation entirely without fluoroscopy using an electroanatomic navigation system, potentially reducing radiation exposure.
Ruiz‐Granell et al. (2005) conducted a case report in Uncontrollable permanent atrial fibrillation (n=1). AV ablation and permanent ventricular pacemaker implantation using EnSite NavX system without fluoroscopy was evaluated on Successful ablation of AV conduction and permanent ventricular pacemaker implantation with no use of fluoroscopy. AV ablation and permanent ventricular pacemaker implantation were successfully performed without fluoroscopy using the EnSite NavX electroanatomic navigation system in a 47-year-old man.
