Conclusion
Carto-Merge as well as NavX-EnSite provides the basis for
effective circumferential left atrial PV ablation with proven
isolation of all PVs. Early follow-up data do not indicate
differences in clinical efficacy. Ablation with NavX-EnSite shows
significantly reduced procedure times, lower RF burning time
and RF energy delivery with comparable efficacy.
