Zero-fluoroscopy approach for ablation of supraventricular tachycardia using the Ensite NavX system: a multicenter experience.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping systems have demonstrated a significant reduction in radiation exposure during radiofrequency catheter ablation procedures. We aimed to investigate the safety, feasibility and efficacy of a completely zero-fluoroscopy approach for catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia using the Ensite NavX navigation system compared with a conventional fluoroscopy approach.

Methods

A multicenter prospective non-randomized registry study was performed in seven centers from January 2013 to February 2018. Consecutive patients referred for catheter ablation of supraventricular tachycardia were assigned either to a completely zero-fluoroscopic approach (ZF) or conventional fluoroscopy approach (CF) according to the operator's prefer
