Ablation of right and left ectopic atrial tachycardias using a three-dimensional nonfluoroscopic mapping system

Am J Cardiol. 1998 Oct 15;82(8):989-92. doi: 10.1016/s0002-9149(98)00522-0.

Abstract

We report our experience with mapping and ablation of right and left atrial tachycardia using a 3-dimensional nonfluoroscopic mapping system. Twenty-nine ectopic atrial tachycardias were successfully ablated. This novel mapping system has the potential to increase a successful cure of this arrhythmia by catheter ablation.
