Key result
Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation using three-dimensional mapping achieved a 100% immediate success rate with no complications in patients with various tachyarrhythmias.
Why the study?
Fluoroscopy during catheter ablation exposes patients and medical personnel to ionizing radiation risks, prompting alternative zero-fluoroscopy techniques using electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac ultrasound.
Does zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation achieve immediate success and safety in patients with non-AF tachyarrhythmias?
Population
Fifty-two patients with arrhythmias except atrial fibrillation in a Mexican electrophysiology laboratory
Comparison
Zero-fluoroscopy mapping and catheter ablation
Design
Single-center observational study

Does zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation achieve immediate success and safety in patients with non-AF tachyarrhythmias?
Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation using 3D mapping is safe and highly effective for treating various non-AF tachyarrhythmias, eliminating ionizing radiation exposure.
Rojel-Martínez et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Cardiac arrhythmias (excluding atrial fibrillation) (n=52). Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation (using 3D mapping and intracardiac ultrasound) was evaluated on Immediate success rate of catheter ablation. Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation using three-dimensional mapping achieved a 100% immediate success rate with no complications in patients with various tachyarrhythmias.
