Feasibility and Accuracy of Noninvasive Continuous Arterial Pressure Monitoring during Transcatheter Atrial Fibrillation Ablation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Transcatheter atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is still carried out with continuous invasive radial arterial blood pressure (IBP) monitoring in many centers. Continuous noninvasive blood pressure (CNBP) measurement using the volume-clamp method is a noninvasive alternative method used in ICU. No data on CNBP reliability are available in the electrophysiology lab during AF ablation, where rhythm variations are common.

Background

The objective of the present study was to compare continuous noninvasive arterial pressure measured with the ClearSight device (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) with invasive radial artery pressure used as the reference method during AF ablation.

Methods

We prospectively enrolled 55 consecutive patients (age 62 ± 11 years, 8
