Routine use of a 3D mapping system in the ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias with as low as reasonably achievable X-ray exposure (AALARA): protocol for a prospective, observational, multicentre, multinational, open-label registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The reduction of fluoroscopic exposure during catheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias is widely adopted by experienced electrophysiology physicians with a relatively short learning curve and is becoming standard of care in many parts of the world. While observational studies in the USA and some parts of Western Europe have evaluated the minimal fluoroscopic approach, there are scarce real-world data for this technique and generalisability of outcome in other economic regions.

Methods and analysis

The arrhythmias with as low as reasonably achievable X-ray exposure study is a prospective, observational, multicentre and multinational open-label registry study. Up to 700 patients undergoing catheter ablation for right-sided supraventricular arrhythmias (ac
