    Zero-fluoroscopy catheter ablation may match the safety and efficacy of fluoroscopy-guided techniques for ventricular arrhythmias.

  • 2

    A systematic review analyzed nine cohort studies with 1,408 patients, comparing zero-fluoroscopy and nonzero-fluoroscopy approaches.

  • 3

    Acute procedural success rates were similar between zero-fluoroscopy and nonzero-fluoroscopy techniques, with slight variations noted.

  • 4

    Procedural duration varied, with six studies indicating shorter times for zero-fluoroscopy, but no significant differences overall.

  • 5

    The findings suggest zero-fluoroscopy ablation is a non-inferior alternative, eliminating radiation exposure without compromising outcomes.
