Original Article Saad et al. Zero Fluoroscopy Catheter Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation and Supraventricular Arrhythmias Arq Bras Cardiol. 2020; 114(6):1015-1026 Figure 3 – Sequence of imagens during circumferential ablation around the left PVs for isolation. Shown are the CARTO-guided 3D images of ablation lesions (pink and red dots) placed around the left PVs. Note that the ablation catheter provides contact-force information, the arrow depicting the force vector and on top-left, the number of grams quantifying the tissue contact (between 7 and 15g in this example), darker dots meaning more tissue contact and energy delivery. Also shown is a multipolar mapping catheter in the LSPV (Pentarray – Biosense Webster) to monitor its electrical activity and confirm isolation. Video 4 – CARTO-guided 3D images of RF delivery (pink and red dots) placed around the left PVs. The ablation catheter provides contact-force information, the arrow showing the force vector, and on top-left, the number of grams quantifying the tissue contact.Ablation lesions covering the full circumference around the left PVs are shown.
