May enable radiation avoidance in pediatric right-sided SVT ablation; leaves open randomized confirmation of safety and efficacy.
Does a complete nonfluoroscopic approach using a 3D navigation system maintain efficacy and safety compared to conventional fluoroscopy in patients undergoing right-sided catheter ablations for supraventricular tachycardia?
A completely nonfluoroscopic approach using a 3D navigation system is safe and effective for right-sided catheter ablations in pediatric patients with supraventricular tachycardia, eliminating radiation exposure.
