Transseptal puncture for atrial fibrillation ablation under electroanatomic guidance: Is it feasible?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology"
DOI: 10.1111/jce.14686
Abstract: The field of electrophysiology continues to move further towards low fluoroscopy procedures. The deleterious effects of radiation exposure and of the radiation protection clothing themselves are the primary drivers of this approach. This article is… read more here.
