Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is widely used for the ablation of atrial fibrillation, with prior
reports suggesting good efficacy. Due to the widespread use of three-dimensional …

Catheter ablation (CA) of idiopathic ventricular arrhyth-mias (VAs) originating within the left
ventricular (LV) summit or basal interventricular septum is a challenging procedure requiring …

Introduction: Pulmonary vein isolation is the cornerstone of ablation of atrial fibrillation. With
widespread use of 3D Electroanatomic Mapping Systems and advances in intracardiac echo …

Purpose of review Catheter ablation procedures involve fluoroscopy and can result in
significant radiation exposure to the patient and staff. From the early 1980s to 2006, there …

Background: In recent years, there has been a dedicated focus to improve the tools,
techniques, and technology for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of atrial fibrillation (AF). Multi …

Use of fluoroscopy during pediatric ablations allows the electrophysiologist to understand
patient anatomy and catheter positions. However, this imaging modality carries inherent risk …

Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) allows for real-time assessment of cardiac anatomy.
ICE has many different applications during atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, allowing …

Ultrasound is a valuable tool and should be standard of care in any modern
