Abstract

Catheter ablations of complex arrhythmias are commonly performed using an electroanatomic mapping system in combination with fluoro scopic guidance, resulting in exposure to ionising radiation for patients, physicians and staff in the electrophysiology laboratory. We present a case demonstrating that completely fluoroscopy-free catheter ablation is feasible without using additional technology such as periprocedural intracardiac or transoesophageal echocardiography.
Keywords: radiofrequency ablation; electroanatomic mapping system; fluoroscopy radiofrequency ablation; electroanatomic mapping system; fluoroscopy
