The Adjunct Use of Non-Fluoroscopic Imaging Devices to Decrease Radiation Exposure During Ablation of Supraventricular Tachycardia
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the additional use of non-fluoroscopic
imaging modalities can decrease the use of radiation exposure during standard ablation
procedures for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children.
imaging modalities can decrease the use of radiation exposure during standard ablation
procedures for supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in children.
The standard of care for children undergoing SVT ablation is radiation (fluoroscopy) to see
the heart. Non fluoroscopic imaging tools have been utilized for adult atrial fibrillation
procedures. These tools utilize magnetic fields to visualize the heart without using
radiation. The purpose of this study was to determine if these 3D mapping tools could reduce
radiation exposure during SVT ablation procedures could be performed using these 3D tools.
