A total of 98 consecutive patients underwent RFCA (34.7% females, median age 64.4 years, 64.3% paroxysmal AF). Acute PVI was achieved in all patients (100%). Forty-three patients (43.9%) underwent additional ablations for concomitant arrhythmias. Adverse events were detected in four patients (4.1%). The median procedure duration was 130 min (IQR 103.8-151.3). If only PVI was done the median procedure duration was 110.5 (IQR 100.0-133.8) CONCLUSIONS: ICE/EAM automatic integration system guided fluoroless ablation of AF is feasible, safe and acutely effective method for treatment of symptomatic AF.
