A Novel Wide-band Dielectric Imaging System for Electro-anatomic Mapping and Monitoring in Radiofrequency Ablation and Cryoablation.

ABSTRACT:

Background and objectives

A novel wide-band dielectric mapping system, named as KODEX-EPD (EPD Solutions, Philips, Best, the Netherlands), was effectively used in the EA mapping for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. To date, only a few studies have concentrated on the application of the KODEX-EPD system for ablating supraventricular tachycardia or ventricular premature beats (VPBs) in human models. This study aims to assess the applicability and efficiency of a novel three-dimensional electro-anatomic (EA) mapping system to improve the success rate of ablation.

Methods

This study included 11 consecutive patients who underwent ablation after EA mapping with the KODEX-EPD system.

Results

All surgeries were successfully performed using the KODEX-EPD system, including 6
