EnSite Velocity cardiac mapping system: a new platform for 3D mapping of cardiac arrhythmias.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate understanding and visualization of the mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias originating from a complex 3D substrate are a prerequisite for successful treatment of such disorders. Nonfluoroscopic cardiac mapping systems are designed to provide the required spatial anatomical information in combination with local electrical information. During recent years, the EnSite system, with its EnSite NavX navigation and visualization technology, and CARTO have evolved as the main representatives. EnSite Velocity is the latest released platform of the EnSite NavX technology. It represents an open system enabling 3D visualization of multiple intracardiac catheters from different manufacturers. Fusion algorithms and respiratory compensation allow for model-guided therapy with real-time nonfluoroscopic visualization of intracardiac catheters within registered 3D CT/MRI images.

Background MRI produces images that serve as luminal, edema, & scar maps to assist in the Electrophysiological (EP) treatment of ventricular and atrial arrhythmias [1]. Until MR-compatible EP devices are widely available, there will be a need to perform EP partially in the MRI for imaging, and partially outside the MRI for ablation, puncture & navigation. An MR-conditional voltage-based Electro...

متن کاملCatheter Ablation Without Fluoroscopy: Current Techniques And Future Direction.
Background: Catheter ablation is the treatment of choice for most forms of SVT. Traditionally, fluoroscopy has been the primary tool for visualizing catheter position. However, newer, 3-dimensional mapping technologies offer multiple options for minimizing fluoroscopy use. We review our 8 year experience of a zero-fluoroscopy approach using the Ensite system, and discuss our current techniques....
متن کاملThe Future of Cardiac Mapping
Severe disorders of the heart rhythm that can lead to sudden cardiac death (SCD) are often treated by radio-frequency (RF) catheter ablation. Using fluoroscopy as an imaging guide, the procedure consists of inserting a catheter inside the heart, near the area from which originates the abnormal cardiac electrical activity, then delivering RF currents through the catheter tip to ablate the arrhyt...
