We describe the first case of cardiac arrhythmia ablation with the novel MediGuide non-fluoroscopic catheter tracking system in North America. This new technology uses electromagnetic field to track sensor integrated intracardiac electrophysiology catheters which are projected on pre-recorded fluoroscopy cine loops. This new technology permits catheter tracking in virtual biplane fluoroscopy and enhances spatial resolution of conventional 3D mapping systems while drastically reducing radiation exposure.
我们描述了北美首例使用新型MediGuide非荧光透视导管追踪系统进行心律失常消融的病例。这项新技术利用电磁场追踪集成了传感器的心内电生理导管,这些导管被投射到预先录制的荧光透视电影环上。这项新技术允许在虚拟双平面荧光透视中追踪导管,并提高传统三维标测系统的空间分辨率,同时大幅减少辐射暴露。
