Advances and Limitations in Electroanatomic Mapping for Infant Catheter Ablation

J Innov Card Rhythm Manag. 2019 Jun 15;10(6):3696-3701. doi: 10.19102/icrm.2019.100602. eCollection 2019 Jun.

Abstract

Advances in electroanatomic mapping (EAM) technology have facilitated improved success and safety profiles in the field of catheter ablation. However, these advances in their current iteration may be of limited value in ablation performed in very small children. The present case report highlights the application of current EAM technologies in an infant with incessant arrhythmias and includes a discussion regarding the application and limitations of newer mapping and ablation technologies in this unique and fragile patient group.

Keywords: Catheter ablation; electroanatomic mapping; pediatric; tachyarrhythmia.
