Catheter Ablation of Common‐Type Atrial Flutter Guided by Three‐Dimensional Right Atrial Geometry Reconstruction and Catheter Tracking Using Cutaneous Patches:

Introduction: EnSite® NavX™ (NavX) is a novel mapping and navigation system that allows visualization of conventional catheters for diagnostic and ablative purposes and uses them to create a three‐dimensional (3D) geometry of the heart. NavX is particularly suitable for ablation procedures utilizing an anatomic approach, as in the setting of common‐type atrial flutter (AFL). The aim of this study was to compare NavX‐guided and conventional ablation procedures for AFL.
