Abstract

Fluoroless catheter ablation of all endocardial cardiac arrhythmias is feasible using current, and often standard, electrophysiology laboratory equipment. This article lays out a road map for performing fluoroless ablations, safely and efficaciously. We outline optimizing intracardiac echocardiography, performing complex ablations with radiofrequency and cryoballoon technology.

Keywords: Atrial fibrillation; Cryoablation; Fluoroless; Fluoroless ablation; Intracardiac echo (ICE).
