The MediGuide™ system is a novel technology for non-fluoroscopic 3D catheter tracking during cardiovascular electrophysiological procedures. The system allows for precise catheter visualization on pre-recorded conventional fluoroscopy images, with significant reduction of fluoroscopy exposure. This might translate into improved safety for both patients and operators, without affecting the procedural efficacy. Preliminary data suggest that the MediGuide technology is at least as safe and effective as conventional systems for mapping and catheter ablation of a variety of supraventricular arrhythmias, with a significantly reduced fluoroscopy exposure. In this review, the authors summarize data from the available literature data on catheter ablation of typical atrial flutter using the novel MediGuide technology.
MediGuide™系统是一种用于心血管电生理手术中无荧光三维导管追踪的新技术。该系统能够在预先录制的传统荧光透视图像上实现导管的精确可视化,显著减少荧光透视曝光。这可能转化为对患者和操作人员更高的安全性,同时不影响手术效果。初步数据表明,对于各种室上性心律失常的标测和导管消融,MediGuide技术至少与传统系统一样安全有效,且荧光透视曝光显著减少。在本综述中,作者总结了使用新型MediGuide技术进行典型心房扑动导管消融的现有文献数据。
