Radiation exposure during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the radiation exposure during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) using the pulmonary vein (PV) approach. METHODS AND RESULTS The study included 15 patients with AF and 5 patients each with atrial flutter and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) who underwent fluoroscopically guided procedures on a biplane x-ray s...
متن کاملRadiation exposure during radiofrequency catheter ablation of accessory atrioventricular connections.
BACKGROUND Catheter ablation of accessory atrioventricular (AV) connections has been demonstrated to be effective in more than 85% of patients. One of the risks of this procedure is radiation exposure during the fluoroscopic imaging necessary to guide catheter manipulation. The objective of the present study was to measure the radiation received by patients and physicians during radiofrequency ...
متن کاملNon-fluoroscopic navigation systems for radiofrequency catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardia reduce ionising radiation exposure.
INTRODUCTION The use of non-fluoroscopic systems (NFS) to guide radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is associated with lower radiation exposure. This study aimed to determine if NFS reduces fluoroscopy time, radiation dose and procedure time. METHODS We prospectively enrolled patients undergoing RFCA for SVT. NFS included EnSiteTM Na...
متن کاملConceptus radiation dose and risk from cardiac catheter ablation procedures.
BACKGROUND The aim of the current study was to estimate the conceptus radiation dose and risk associated with fluoroscopic imaging during a catheter ablation procedure for supraventricular tachycardia performed on the expectant mother. METHODS AND RESULTS Exposure parameters and fluoroscopy times for each projection of the cardiac ablation procedure performed in 20 female patients of childbea...
متن کاملCatheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Without Radiation Exposure Using A 3D Mapping System.
Transcatheter ablation procedures have been traditionally performed under fluoroscopic guidance. However, x-ray exposure is afflicted by the risk of developing malignancies as well as other deterministic effects of radiation. For this reason, radiation doses in the interventional laboratory should be reduced "As Low As Reasonably Achievable", with respect to the safety of the patients and the m...
