"Utilizing Advanced EP Techniques and Technologies in the Treatment of Supra Ventricular Tachycardias: Experience Using the EnSite® System and the Safire Bi-Directional Ablation Catheter"

The University College of London Hospital's (UCLH) Heart Hospital is a leader in catheter-based management of atrial fibrillation (AF), generally performing two to three AF ablations each day. The frequency of these complex arrhythmia cases has helped in the development of the electrophysiology (EP) lab staff so that they are experienced in the use of the most advanced navigation, visualization and ablation techniques and technologies available today. In addition to the use of these tools for the most complex cases, they have also proven to be highly beneficial in facilitating treatment of other supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs).
