Zero‐fluoroscopy ablation for cardiac arrhythmias: A single‐center experience in Japan
Abstract Background Exposure to radiation during catheter ablation procedures poses a risk to the heath of both the patient and electrophysiology laboratory staff. Recently, the feasibility and effectiveness of zero‐fluoroscopy ablation have been reported. However, studies on the outcomes of zero‐fl...
