Catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias has conventionally been performed with the aid of fluoroscopy to direct catheter placement. Unfortunately, the use of fluoroscopy comes with radiation risks to the patient as well as to the electrophysiology lab staff. Newly navigation methods are used to help in mapping and ablation, reducing X-ray exposure to zero or near zero.

Abstract
Catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias has conventionally been performed with the aid of fluoroscopy to direct catheter placement. Unfortunately, the use of fluoroscopy comes with radiation risks to the patient as well as to the electrophysiology lab staff. Newly navigation methods are used to help in mapping and ablation, reducing X-ray exposure to zero or near zero. The aim of the present review is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrial flutter performed in a fluoroless manner compared with the traditional method using fluoroscopy.File in questo prodotto:
