Abstract
We present the first ever reported case of a super morbidly obese patient (BMI > 60) with drug refractory, symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation who underwent an uncomplicated, but unsuccessful PVI ablation procedure and subsequently underwent AV node ablation and cardiac resynchronization therapy - pacemaker (CRT-P) insertion using a zero fluoroscopy technique. This case demonstrates the following two critical points: (1) difficulties in the treatment of massively obese patients with arrhythmias1; (2) increased use of fluoroless procedures2-4.Entities:
