Insights
Nonfluoroscopic ablation shows promise for patients with congenital heart disease. This study reviews techniques for procedural safety and the advantages of 3D mapping in structural heart disease cases.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Technology
Background:
- Congenital heart disease (CHD) presents unique challenges for cardiac ablation procedures.
- Traditional fluoroscopy-based methods carry risks, especially in complex cardiac anatomies.
Abstract:
In this case series, we demonstrate the performance of nonfluoroscopic ablation in the congenital heart disease population. Techniques for procedural safety and the benefits of three-dimensional mapping in the setting of structural heart disease are reviewed.
