Feasibility, Efficiency, and Safety of Zero-Fluoroscopy Catheter Interventions for Right-Sided Cardiac Arrhythmias Using Only Electroanatomic Mapping.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Fluoroscopy is traditionally used for catheter interventions in electrophysiology but carries a long-term health risk. Besides additional invasive procedures to achieve zero-fluoroscopy (ZF) interventions, electroanatomic mapping may be an alternative to fluoroscopy without the need of additional procedures. We aimed to investigate the feasibility, safety, and efficiency of a ZF approach using only electroanatomic mapping (ZF) compared to a conventional fluoroscopic (CF) approach for patients with right sided cardiac arrhythmias.

Methods

We performed a single centre retrospective cohort study of consecutive patients undergoing catheter interventions for electrophysiologic procedures from January 2019 to December 2020. Patients with left-sided arrhythmias, focal
