Exposure to scatter radiation and orthopedic issues related to years of wearing lead aprons during long EP procedures has led electrophysiologists to seek out new ways to reduce the need for angiographic X-ray.
Advancements in radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation technology have been incremental over the past 30 years in efforts to improve safety, procedural efficiency and patient outcomes. While some newer technologies have gained a lot of attention in electrophysiology (EP) over the past several years, RF remains the solid frontline treatment.
Most advancements in electrophysiology technology are small and incremental, but the experts at Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute in Austin, TX, were quick to see distinct advantages when they started using the latest iteration of radio frequency ablation, the QDOT MICRO™ Catheter.
