In the past decade, the use of interventional electrophysiological (EP) procedures for the
diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias has exponentially increased. These …

Background Only a few studies have systematically evaluated fluoroscopy data of
electrophysiological and device implantation procedures. Aims of this study were to quantify …

Severe disorders of the heart rhythm that can lead to sudden cardiac death (SCD) are often
treated by radio-frequency (RF) catheter ablation. Using fluoroscopy as an imaging guide …

Background Catheter ablation is a curative treatment with excellent success and minimal
complication rates for patients with supraventricular or ventricular arrhythmias. Methods The …

Background Three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (EAM) systems reduce radiation
exposure when radio frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) procedures are performed by well …

Introduction Fluoroscopy use during catheter ablation procedures increases the cumulative
lifetime radiation exposure of patients and operators, potentially leading to a higher risk of …

Background: This multicenter, prospective study evaluated the determinants of zero-
fluoroscopy (ZFL) ablation of supraventricular tachycardias. Methods and Results: Four …

Aims Radiofrequency (RF) ablation requires placement of several catheters at critical
positions. The catheters are positioned with fluoroscopy, resulting in a significant radiation …

Radiofrequency catheter ablation has become the treatment of choice for atrial fibrillation
(AF) that does not respond to antiarrhythmic drug therapy. During the procedure, fluoroscopy …

Radiofrequency ablation of cardiac arrhythmias has come to widespread use since it was
first performed in the mid-1980s. Together with an increasing understanding of arrhythmia …
