Authors' recommendations:
There is moderate-quality evidence showing that ablation by three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping (TDEM) for atrial fibrillation and supraventricular arrhythmias is similar in efficacy to ablation by conventional mapping, but it allows reducing fluoroscopic exposure times.
Low-quality evidence points out that the use of TDEM in ventricular arrhythmias associated with structural cardiac disease could be safe and efficacious.
The clinical practice guidelines and consensus mention TDEM as a useful tool, specially in arrhythmias or complex anatomies, since it allows better identification of the arrhythmic area and reduction in fluoroscopic exposure.
Most coverage policies identified consider the use of TDEM in supraventricular arrhythmia ablation, specially those that are complex, and ventricular arrhythmias associated with structural heart disease.
In Argentina, the TDEM system may be reimbursed through the Healthcare Service Superintendence's Unique Reimbursement System.
