Impact of Integration of Multislice Computed Tomography Imaging into Three‐Dimensional Electroanatomic Mapping on Clinical Outcomes, Safety, and Efficacy Using Radiofrequency Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Abstract

Multislice computed tomography image integration into electroanatomic mapping significantly improves the success of wide area circumferential ablation with confirmed isolation of the PV and additional lines. In addition, the safety of radiofrequency ablation with regard to the occurrence of PV stenosis is increased in comparison with a control group using conventional electroanatomic mapping alone. Procedural efficacy remains unchanged.
