OBJECTIVE: We explored whether the use of a novel fluoroscopy image integrated 3-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (F-EAM) system could result in a reduction of overall fluoroscopy time and radiation doses during the whole procedure of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation.
METHODS: Eighty patients (44 men (55%); mean age 63 ± 10 years) who underwent catheter ablation due to paroxysmal AF were recruited consecutively in the present study. Patients were randomized (1:1) into 2 arms for AF ablation: one using a conventional 3-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (EAM) system and the other using the F-EAM system.
RESULTS: Fluoroscopy time (10:42 [interquartile range {IQR} 8:45-12:46] minutes:seconds vs 1:45 [IQR 1:05-2:22] minutes:seconds; P < .001) and radiation doses (2440 [IQR 1593-3091] cGy·cm(2) vs 652 [IQR 326-1489] cGy·cm(2); P < .001) in the EAM group were significantly greater than those in the F-EAM group. The majority of reduction of radiation exposure was achieved after transseptal puncture, which was near-zero fluoroscopic exposure. In total, approximately 84% of fluoroscopy time and 73% of radiation doses have been reduced during the AF ablation procedure using the F-EAM system compared to using the conventional EAM system. However, procedure time did not differ significantly (1:39 [IQR 1:18-2:10] hours:minutes vs 1:37 [IQR 1:17-1:50] hours:minutes; P = .362). During follow-up (5.9 ± 1.3 months), 61 patients (76.3%) had no recurrence of atrial arrhythmias. The recurrence rate between the 2 groups did not differ.
CONCLUSION: AF catheter ablation using the F-EAM system was safe and resulted in a significant reduction of radiation exposure to patients and staff without complicating the workflow of the procedure. A near-zero fluoroscopic catheter ablation procedure could be performed without compromising acute/mid-term efficacy and safety.
