Getting to zero: impact of electroanatomical mapping on fluoroscopy use in pediatric catheter ablation

摘要

Purpose Over the past several years, alternative imaging techniques including electroanatomic mapping systems such as CARTO (R) 3 (C3) have been developed to improve anatomic resolution and potentially limit radiation exposure in electrophysiology (EP) procedures. We retrospectively examined the effect of the introduction of C3 on patient radiation exposure during EP studies and ablation procedures at a children's hospital.
