Key result
Noncontact mapping-guided ablation eliminates ectopy-triggered AF recurrence in two patients.
Why the study?
A novel noncontact mapping system was used to guide radiofrequency ablation in patients with AF triggered by left atrial ectopy.

Feasible for mapping pulmonary vein ectopy in AF; leaves open whether noncontact systems improve ablation success.
Schneider et al. (2000) conducted a case report in Atrial fibrillation triggered by left atrial ectopy (n=2). Noncontact mapping-guided catheter ablation was evaluated on Recurrence of atrial fibrillation. Noncontact mapping-guided catheter ablation successfully treated atrial fibrillation triggered by left atrial ectopy in two patients, with no recurrences observed at 4 and 6 months of follow-up.
