Arrhythmias & electrophysiologyCohort study
Atrial fibrillation ablation using three-dimensional artificial intelligence module integration with intracardiac echocardiography
- Observational cohort study
Authors' conclusion
AI FAM was associated with incremental but significant procedural advantages over conventional contouring via reduced total procedure time and LA dwell time, without compromising acute and long-term safety and rhythm control efficacy.
