Internationally, the CARTO system is the most widely used: 169 citations since 1997 in MEDLINE describe clinical use of this system-well ahead of the 13 citations for the LocaLisa system in the same database.Įlectroanatomical mapping with the CARTO system allows simultaneous, point-by-point, acquisition of activation, propagation and endocardial voltage maps in different arrhythmic substrates, with a complete three-dimensional chamber reconstruction. 7 The CARTO ®2 and ENSITE ® systems are more widely used in Spanish laboratories than other systems. 6 One year later, the number of such systems available in Spain had doubled. They were introduced into Spain slowly at first-in 2001, only 26% of Spanish laboratories had any sort of navigation system, and the use of these systems was limited (only 7 out of 182 patients with atrial tachycardias underwent procedures with such systems).

Electroanatomical mapping with the CARTO ®2 system (Biosense, CordisWebster), noncontact mapping 3 (ENSITE ® Endocardial Solutions Inc.), the LocaLisa ®4 system (Medtronic), and 3-dimensional real-time positioning 5 (RPM ® Real-Time Position Management System Boston Scientific, S.A.) are currently the main technical developments applicable in clinical electrophysiology. 1 This started to change towards the end of the 90s with reports of the first clinical applications of the so-called navigation systems, with computerized mapping independent of fluoroscopic control. The position of substrates and electrodes with respect to the cardiac shadow and bone structures on an essentially 2-dimensional image was the only imaging support for the electrophysiologist interpreting anatomical localization. 1Ġ.057” (1.45 mm) Inner-diameter allows more room to deliver interventional devices.Ġ.066” (1.For years, fluoroscopy was the only way that arrhythmic substrates could be located and the spatial position of catheter electrodes determined in clinical electrophysiology.
