Routine Implant of Biventricular Devices Guided by an Electroanatomic Mapping System - Ready for Prime-Time?
نویسندگان
چکیده
Biventricular devices play an important adjunctive role in the treatment of heart failure. However, biventricular device implantation is associated with significant radiation exposure and a high proportion of non-response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). The use of electroanatomic mapping (EAM) during biventricular device implantation may help overcome these issues. This article will review the literature on the role of EAM in biventricular device implantation.

Implantation of a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator guided by an electroanatomic mapping system
AIMS The aim of this study is to show the feasibility of a biventricular implantable cardioverter-defibrillator [cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)-ICD] implantation using an electroanatomic navigation system and a low dose of fluoroscopy. Here four case reports of patients affected by dilated cardiomyopathy, who underwent cardiac resynchronization therapy, are described. METHODS AND RES...
متن کاملElectroanatomic mapping and radiofrequency ablation of porcine left atria and atrioventricular nodes using magnetic resonance catheter tracking.
BACKGROUND The MRI-compatible electrophysiology system previously used for MR-guided left ventricular electroanatomic mapping was enhanced with improved MR tracking, an MR-compatible radiofrequency ablation system and higher-resolution imaging sequences to enable mapping, ablation, and ablation monitoring in smaller cardiac structures. MR-tracked navigation was performed to the left atrium (LA)...
متن کاملElectroanatomic Mapping-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation of Adenosine Sensitive Incessant Focal Atrial Tachycardia Originating from the Non-Coronary Aortic Cusp in a Child
Incessant focal atrial tachycardia may be encountered in the pediatric age group although it is rarely seen. Ablation using radiofrequency or cryothermal energy is the preferred method for drug-resistant cases. Recently, 3D electroanatomic mapping systems have been increasingly used for mapping and ablation. In this report, we presented, for the first time, a pediatric case with incessant focal...

Background MRI provides luminal, edema, & scar images which assist in the Electrophysiological (EP) treatment of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias]. Until a complete set of MR-compatible EP-devices is available, patients must be repeatedly moved between the MRI, where imaging and mapping occur, to the conventional EP suite, where puncture, navigation and Radio-Frequency Ablation occur. MRI-con...
متن کاملVoltage-based electroanatomic mapping system for MR-guided cardiac electrophysiology: preliminary swine validations
Background MRI produces images that serve as luminal, edema, & scar maps to assist in the Electrophysiological (EP) treatment of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias [1]. Until MR-compatible EP devices are widely available, there will be a need to perform EP partially in the MRI for imaging, and partially outside the MRI for ablation, puncture & navigation. An MR-conditional voltage-based Electro...
