Utilization of 3D mapping systems in interventional electrophysiology and its impact on procedure time and fluoroscopy-Insights from the "Go for Zero Fluoroscopy" project.

Use of 3D mapping systems in ablation of supraventricular tachycardias is associated with lower radiation exposure. Nevertheless, the procedure time often increases, except in the case of ablation for AP. Use of contact force catheters and multipolar mapping catheters is associated with yet lower radiation exposure values. Prospective randomized studies are needed to further elucidate potential benefit of these technological tools.
