Reduction of radiation exposure using a sensor-based non-fluoroscopic catheter tracking (NFCT) system (MediGuide™, St Jude Medical, Inc.) was recently demonstrated by retrospective comparisons. We aimed to prospectively compare the effects of using NFCT vs. standard fluoroscopy on procedural parameters in patients undergoing radiofrequency ablation of typical atrial flutter.
