Pulmonary Vein Isolation with rotational angiography based three-dimensional left atrial reconstruction

Abstract

Atrial fibrillation remains the cardiac arrhythmia of highest relevance, exerting a huge burden on both societies and individuals. Together with constant technological progress, new methods are continually implemented in everyday practice, which translates into better prognosis and outcomes of invasive treatment. A crucial part of the pulmonary vein isolation procedure is proper reconstruction of cardiac structures. One of the methods offering the highest vision quality is a combination of rotational angiography with electro-anatomical mapping. We present a case of a 62-year-old patient referred to our department diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and successfully treated with catheter ablation using visualization consisting of electro-anatomical mapping and rotational angiography.
