Atrial Fibrillation Ablation by Use of Electroanatomical Mapping: Efficacy and Recurrence Factors

Abstract: BackgroundRadiofrequency catheter ablation guided by electroanatomical mapping is currently an important therapeutic option for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The complexity of the procedure, the several techniques used and the diversity of the patients hinder the reproduction of the results and the indication for the procedure. ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and factors associated with recurrence of atrial fibrillation. MethodsProspective cohort study with consecutive patients submitted to atrial fi… Show more

“…[21][22][23]27 Postoperative evaluation at an average of three months after ablation indicated a 27% rate of cardiac arrhythmia recurrence, in line with other studies. 36,37 In our center's experience, the technique described in this study improved procedural efficiency by approximately 15 minutes, which, combined with recent efforts to shift final sheath removal to the postanesthesia care unit, can lead to saving up to 30 minutes per procedure, allowing for more efficient procedure room turnaround between cases and reducing the necessity for staff to work overtime. Furthermore, our findings suggest that this fluoroless catheter ablation technique can be combined with operational efficiency initiatives without encumbering overall quality improvements.…”
