The impact of image integration on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using electroanatomic mapping: a prospective randomized study

A detailed appreciation of the left atrial/pulmonary venous (LA/PV) anatomy may be important in improving the safety and success of catheter ablation for AF. The aim of this randomized study was to determine the impact of computed tomographic (CT) integration into an electroanatomic mapping (EAM) system on clinical outcome in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF).Eighty patients with AF were randomized to undergo...
