Supports NavX adoption for typical AFL ablation to cut recurrences and radiation; confirms RCT benefit over conventional fluoroscopy.
Does the EnSite NavX three-dimensional mapping system reduce AFL recurrences and fluoroscopy time compared to conventional fluoroscopy-based mapping in patients with typical atrial flutter?
The use of a 3D mapping system for typical atrial flutter ablation significantly reduces fluoroscopy time and long-term recurrences compared to conventional fluoroscopy.
