Does image integration improve atrial fibrillation ablation outcomes, or are other aspects of the ablation the key to success?

Over the years, various imaging modalities have been used to guide ablation procedures. Technology has rapidly progressed from Two-dimensional fluoroscopic imaging to several different forms of 3D mapping systems using magnetic and impedance sensors, as well as automated imaging components derived from computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, and rotational angiography. These have provided greater anatomic detail...
