Successful Cryoablation of an Anteroseptal Accessory Pathway Guided by Electroanatomical Activation Mapping

J Invasive Cardiol. 2016 Dec;28(12):E227.

Abstract

The use of electroanatomical mapping can facilitate the identification of the ideal cryoablation site by providing a three-dimensional map of the earliest activation site. Combined use of the cryoablation technology with electroanatomical mapping can further increase the precision and safety of the procedure by applying test applications at a lower energy level.
