In the last three decades, ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has become an evidence-based
safe and efficacious treatment for managing the most common cardiac arrhythmia. In 2007 …

Interventional electrophysiology offers a great variety of treatment options to patients
suffering from symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia. Catheter ablation of supraventricular and …

Aims The optimal use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) may reduce fluoroscopy time
and procedural complications during endocardial ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. Due to …

Introduction Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently performed
cardiac ablation procedure worldwide. The majority of ablations can now be performed …

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

Introduction Catheter ablation is the preferred treatment for typical atrial flutter (AFl), but it
can be challenging due to anatomical abnormalities. The use of 3D electroanatomical …

Introduction Intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) provides superior quality images and can
monitor catheter location within the heart continuously. Given the limited evidence, we …

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

Introduction Radiation exposure during catheter ablation procedures is a significant hazard
for both patients and operators. Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures have been …

Background Intracardiac echocardiography and 3D mapping systems allow catheter
ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) to be conducted without fluoroscopy; however, the safety …
