Fluoroscopy integration module reduces radiation exposure without affecting procedure time in accessory pathway ablation

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Conventional Accessory Pathway (AP) ablation is a straightforward approach with high success rates, but the fluoroscopy time significantly higher. Electroanatomical mapping systems (EMS), reduce time, anatomical reconstruction and activation prolong procedure time. The Fluoroscopy Integration Module (FIM) uses prerecorded images allows similar to conventional technique without creating an map. In this study, we investigated effects combining FIM traditional on success, radiation exposure. Methods 112 patients who underwent AP were included in our study. 18 patients, right left anterior oblique (RAO -LAO) recorded after insertion catheters integrated FIM. Afterwards, was performed similarly using fluoroscopy. To accelerate maps not created. Contact-force used. 94 ablated conventionally only Results Combining method reduced exposure (Fluoroscopy time: 3,3±2,6 vs 11,5±11,6 sec, p: 0,001; Dose-area-product (DAP): 7,3±6,2 vs. 28,6±40,5 μGym2, 0,003) affecting total ( 64,4±15 62,6±28,7 0,272 ), successful 33,2±13,9 29,7±29,5 sec 0,056) radiofrequency application 183,7±94,4 167,3±89,8 0,336). Conclusion These findings suggest that can be used for rapid APs times.
