Conventional Mapping
Ablation target identified by intracardiac ECG criteria Catheter navigation guided by fluoroscopy only
Low level electroanatomic mapping

Patient movement Transient events/ unstable AT/VT Inadequate 3D reconstuction Time-consuming point acquisition
General anesthesia Non-contact mapping Image registration

Pitfalls of Non-Contact Mapping

Insufficient geometry reconstruction: e.g. LAA and PVs. Inaccurate localization when > 4 cm. Maps are highly sensitive to filter settings. Inability of simultaneous multiple chamber mapping.
