First Complete Radiation-Free Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Procedure Using AI 3D-Guided Ultrasound

Montefiore Center for Heart and Vascular Care continues to advance atrial fibrillation treatment with the latest AI technology to guide catheters for ablation.

Professors Luigi Di Biase and Xiaodong Zhang performed the first worldwide cardiac ablation procedure using an AI algorithm to create real-time 3D maps of a patient’s heart that visualizes cardiac structures and guides the catheter to the exact location where the ablation is needed, completely avoiding radiation exposure. In addition, a new temperature-controlled catheter was employed which achieves transmural lesions ensuring procedural success while maintaining safety.
