Key result
This review describes various methods for zero-fluoroscopy cardiac electronic device implantation and evaluates their feasibility and safety as alternatives to traditional fluoroscopy.
Why the study?
Due to rising concerns about harmful radiation exposure from routine fluoroscopy during cardiac device implantation, alternative techniques have been developed to achieve zero-fluoroscopy implantation.
This review summarizes alternative techniques to achieve zero-fluoroscopy cardiac electronic device implantation, evaluating their feasibility and safety to reduce radiation exposure.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Zero-fluoroscopy device implantation appears feasible; leaves open need for randomized trials before routine adoption.
Fluoroscopy is the imaging modality routinely used for cardiac device implantation. Due to the rising concern regarding the harmful effects of radiation exposure to both the patients and operation staffs, many efforts have been made to develop alternative techniques to achieve zero-fluoroscopy implantation. In this review, we describe the different methods aimed at avoiding the application of fluoroscopy in recent years, and evaluate their feasibility and safety in cardiac electronic device implantation.
