ABSTRACT
To explore the safety and efficacy for radiofrequency ablation of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) guided by Carto Univu three-dimensional mapping system.


Methods:

A total of 99 patients with PSVT underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) were assigned to a Carto Univu group (51 patients) and a two-dimensional X-ray group (48 patients) according to the mapping method. The operation time, X-ray exposure time, X-ray exposure dose, dose area product (DAP), operation success rate and complication rate were compared between the two groups.


Results:

The Carto Univu group and the two-dimensional X-ray group were not significant difference in the operation time, the X-ray exposure time of placing catheter, the X-ray DAP of placing catheter, the number of discharge, the discharge power, and the total discharge time (P>0.05). The mapping and ablation time, total exposure time, mapping and ablation DAP and total DAP in the Carto Univu group were significantly lower than those in the two-dimensional X-ray group (P<0.01). In the right accessory pathway cases, the mapping and ablation DAP and the total DAP in the Carto Univu group decreased compared with X-ray group (P<0.05), but it decreased more profound (P<0.01) in the left accessory pathway cases and the dual atrioventricular nodal pathways cases. Seven cases in the Carto Univu group achieved "zero X-ray", including 5 cases of the dual atrioventricular nodal pathways and 2 cases of the left accessory pathway. The immediate success rate for the two groups was 100%. After 3-12 months of follow-up, there was no recurrence in the Carto Univu group but 3 suspected recurrences in the two-dimensional X-ray group. In addition, no complications occurred in the two groups. 


Conclusion:

Carto Univu electroanatomic mapping system can guide PSVT safely and effectively during radiofrequency ablation and reduce radiation exposure to both doctors and patients. It is especially suitable for dual atrioventricular nodal pathways, which may even achieve "zero X-ray". Perhaps Carto Univu will be the first choice for RFCA of dual atrioventricular nodal pathways.
