Abstract
The use of fluoroscopic screening involves exposure to ionising radiation for both patients and operators.To assess the effects of radiation dose reduction manoeuvres (DRM) during radiofrequency ablation (RFA) procedures.Prospective study of DRM.Tertiary cardiac centre. Interventions Two DRM were combined: removal of the secondary radiation grid and programming an ultra-low pulsed fluoroscopy rate. These methods were assessed using an...
