Catheter ablation of atrial tachycardia using a real-time position management mapping system.
Catheter ablation for atrial tachycardia is limited by its low success rate and prolonged procedure time because of difficulties in mapping the site of the tachycardia. A new three-dimensional mapping system, the Cardiac Pathways mapping system, using an ultrasound transducer, has recently become available. We report a case of focal atrial tachycardia ablation with this system.
