EP Fellows Curriculum: Advanced ICE Techniques for Catheter Ablation-Advanced ICE Techniques for Catheter Ablation

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video provides an overview of catheter ablation techniques using ice and 3D mapping systems. The speaker explains the placement of the ice catheter in the right ventricle and its role in guiding the ablation procedure. They discuss the process of performing a transeptal puncture and offer tips to avoid complications. The speaker demonstrates the ablation of various structures in the left atrium, highlighting the use of ice for visualization. The video emphasizes the safety and efficacy of using ice catheters for ablation procedures. Additionally, the transcript focuses on the importance of visualizing structures using ice and navigating the catheter without relying on fluoroscopy. The speaker discusses the ablation process in different areas of the heart and explains how lesion formation confirms successful ablation. Overall, the video underscores the value of ice in enhancing the safety and effectiveness of catheter ablation procedures.
