Why the study?
Does a nonfluoroscopic 3D navigation system reduce fluoroscopic exposure and procedure time compared to fluoroscopic guidance alone in patients undergoing linear ablation for atrial fibrillation?
Does a nonfluoroscopic 3D navigation system reduce fluoroscopic exposure and procedure time compared to fluoroscopic guidance alone in patients undergoing linear ablation for atrial fibrillation?
The use of a nonfluoroscopic 3D navigation system for linear left atrial ablation reduces fluoroscopic exposure time without compromising procedural success or safety.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May reduce fluoroscopy in AF roof line ablation; leaves open randomized confirmation of net benefit.
Takahashi et al. (2005) studied this question.
