ABSTRACT

In order to investigate the role of intracardiac ultrasound (ICE) in catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation, 200 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent radiofrequency ablation in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected as the study objects, and were divided into observation group and control group according to ICE. Ice puncture interval was used in the observation group, and X-ray puncture interval was used in the control group. The total operation time, interatrial puncture time, pulmonary vein isolation time, X-ray irradiation time, X-ray irradiation dose, complications and surgical success rate were compared between the two groups. The results showed that the X-ray dose, X-ray irradiation time, total operation time, complication rate, modeling time, atrial septal puncture time and pulmonary vein isolation time in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistical significance (P <0.05). These results indicate that intracardiac ultrasound (ICE) guided catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation can reduce the X-ray dose and operation time, shorten the overall operation time, and do not increase the risk of surgical complications.
