Does new X-ray technology reduce radiation exposure in patients undergoing pacemaker and ICD implantation?
Effect estimate: 69% reduction
Absolute Event Rate: 5.2% vs 16.4%
p-value: p=<0.001
The use of new X-ray technology with advanced image processing algorithms significantly reduces patient radiation exposure during pacemaker and ICD implantations by 69-75% without compromising procedure time or contrast volume.
Dijk et al. (2016) conducted a cohort in Pacemaker or ICD implantation (n=1,185). New X-ray technology (AlluraClarity) vs. Reference X-ray technology (Allura Xper) was evaluated on Radiation exposure (dose area product) for non-CRT implantations (69% reduction, p=<0.001). The new AlluraClarity X-ray technology reduced radiation exposure by 69% for non-CRT and 75% for CRT pacemaker and ICD implantations compared to reference technology.
