Efficacy, Time, Cost and Radiation Exposure of Combined Limited Fluoroscopy with Non-fluoroscopic Three-dimensional Imaging in Paediatric Supraventricular Tachycardia Ablation – Best of Both Worlds
Abstract:Objective: Catheter ablation for supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs) traditionally has utilised fluoroscopic imaging (FI). However, radiation concerns have recently contributed to the evolution of non-fluoroscopic three-dimensional imaging (3DI) systems. A few recent studies have advocated non-FI in lieu of FI. To date, there are only a few studies reporting use of limited FI with 3DI usage in children undergoing SVT ablations. This study evaluates time, efficacy, cost and safety of limited FI plus 3DI for SV… Show more
A limited fluoroscopy approach for ablation of AP in children using 3DS is easily acquired, adapted, reduces the fluoroscopy time, and has an excellent efficacy and safety profile.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
