This sentiment reflects in large part a great variability in CT detector imaging equipment and protocols. Further large-scale studies will be required before CT imaging can be considered an alternative for TEE screening prior to AF ablation. A survey of the writing group members shows 49% of the members employ CT imaging on a routine basis prior to AF ablation. Among those who obtain CT imaging, 32% use the CT image to identify LAA thrombi.","tracks":[]}
