| Popis: | Catheter radio-frequency ablation (RFA) and cryo-ablation (CRA) procedures are an effective and safe treatment options for adult and pediatric patients with accessory pathway (AP) mediated tachycardias. Non-fluoroscopic techniques during catheter ablation (CA) procedures reduce potentially harmful effects of radiation. Our aim was to investigate the efficacy and safety of completely fluoroless RFA and CRA procedures in pediatric and adult patients with APs. Consecutive patients with AP-related tachycardia and high risk asymptomatic ventricular pre-excitation were assessed in retrospective analysis. Three-dimensional (3D) electro-anatomical mapping (EAM) and intra-cardiac echocardiography (ICE) were used as principal imaging modalities. Fluoroscopy was not used during any stage of the procedures. Among 116 included patients (22.76 ± 16.1 years, 68 patients |
