Does ablation using a three-dimensional nonfluoroscopic mapping system effectively eliminate incisional atrial tachycardias in patients with prior cardiac surgery?
A three-dimensional nonfluoroscopic mapping system allows for highly successful ablation of complex incisional atrial tachycardias with a low rate of recurrence.
Leonelli et al. (2001) studied this question.
