Introduction Catheter ablations for cardiac arrhythmias are conventionally performed under
fluoroscopic guidance. To guide these procedures, zero/minimal fluoroscopy (Z/MF) …

Background Recent advances in 3D mapping systems, such as simultaneous visualization
of multiple catheters and contact force measurement, have allowed a significant reduction in …

Aims Interventional cardiology procedures may expose patients and staff to considerable
radiation doses. We aimed to assess whether exposure to ionizing radiation during catheter …

Aims Radiofrequency catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most complex
ablation procedures. Both patients and operators are exposed to scattered radiation. This …

Purpose The ability to non-invasively image myocardial microvascular dilation and
constriction is essential to assessing intact function and dysfunction. Yet, conventional …

Methods In this prospective study, we enrolled 80 patients with CTI-dependent AFl. The first
40 patients underwent standard fluoroscopy+ ICE-guided ablation (Standard ICE group) …

To evaluate the feasibility of cryoballoon (CB) ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) under the
guidance of a new three-dimensional (3D) mapping system KODEX-EPD. 40 patients …

Background Transseptal puncture (TSP) is commonly performed under fluoroscopic
guidance in left atrial ablation procedures. This exposes patients and healthcare …

The majority of electrophysiologists routinely use fluoroscopy (FLUORO) during ablation
procedures for common arrhythmias despite the known complications of radiation exposure …

Background Exposure to radiation during catheter ablation procedures poses a risk to the
heath of both the patient and electrophysiology laboratory staff. Recently, the feasibility and …
