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 Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) focuses on pulmonary vein (PV) ablation with
or without additional atrial substrate modification. These procedures require significant …

Radiofrequency catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) that
traditionally requires fluoroscopic imaging to guide catheter movement and positioning …

Background—A technological platform (MediGuide) has been recently introduced for
nonfluoroscopic catheter tracking. No data on the safety of this technology are yet available …

Aims Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is centred on pulmonary vein (PV) ablation
with or without additional atrial substrate modification. These procedures may be prolonged …

Introduction: This study examines the feasibility of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using
registered three‐dimensional computed tomography (CT) images of the left atrium with …

BACKGROUND: In performing catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), the
advent of electroanatomical mapping (EAM) has significantly reduced fluoroscopy time …

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 …

Aims Efforts to reduce radiation exposure during catheter ablation procedures have included
the use of various technological measures. Significant results have been achieved to the …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation still requires long procedural time and high radiation
exposure with its related risk for the patient and the operators. This study was designed to …
