Efficacy of Commonly Used 3D Mapping Systems in Acute Success Rates of Catheter Ablation Procedures

摘要

Introduction: This systematic review aims to summarize the procedural arrhythmia termination rates in catheter ablation (CA) procedures of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias using the commonly used mapping systems (CARTO, Rhythmia and EnSite/NavX). Materials and Methods: A systematic search in MEDLINE and Cochrane databases through February 2021 was performed. Results: With regard to atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, acute success rates ranged from 15.4 to 96.0 and 9.1 to 100.0 using the CARTO and EnSite/NavX mapping systems, respectively; acute atrial tachycardia (AT) termination to sinus rhythm ranged from 75 to 100 using the CARTO system. The acute success rate for different types of AT ranged from 75 to 97 using Rhythmia, while the NavX mapping system was also found to have excellent efficacy in the setting of AT, with acute arrhythmia termination rates ranging from 73 to 99. With regard to ventricular tachycardia, in the setting of ischaemic cardiomyopathy, acute success rates ranged from 70 to 100 using CARTO and 64 using EnSite/NavX systems. The acute success rate using the Rhythmia system ranged from 61.5 to 100.0 for different clinical settings. Conclusions: Mapping systems have played a crucial role in high-density mapping and the observed high procedural success rates of atrial and ventricular CA procedures. More data are needed for the comparative efficacy of mapping systems in acute arrhythmia termination, across different clinical settings.
