Dosimetric Reference Levels for Radioguided Interventional Procedures in Rhythmology.
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Summary
Interventional radiology has become a widespread technique used in various fields of medicine to diagnose or treat numerous pathologies. However, the risk of X-rays must be taken into account. In 2019, the French Authority on Nuclear Safety published diagnostic reference levels for radio-guided interventional practices for 10 interventional radiology procedures and 2 interventional cardiology procedures, based on studies published by the French Society of Medical Physics in collaboration with the French Society of Radiology and the French Coronary Artery Disease and Interventional Cardiology Group. Reference levels for interventional procedures under CT guidance were also defined in 2020 following a national multicenter study coordinated by Nîmes University Hospital (NIMAO NRD-SI). However, no national multicentre studies have ever defined reference levels for radioguided interventional procedures in rhythmology. The aim of this study is to define standard national dosimetric levels for a number of radioguided interventional procedures in rhythmology.

Radio-guided interventions to correct heart rhythm disorders
All patients in the cohort will be undergoing one of the following radio-guided procedures : * Insertion of a single-chamber pacemaker with lead * Insertion of a dual-chamber pacemaker with lead * Implantation of a multi-site pacemaker * Implantation of a single-chamber endovascular defibrillator * Implantation of a dual-chamber endovascular defibrillator * Placement of multi-site defibrillator * Typical Primary Atrial Flutter Ablation: Cavotricuspid Isthmus only * Primo Ablation tachycardia by intra nodal re-entry * Accessory pathway ablation * Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation ablation (4 pulmonary veins only, all technologies combined * Primo Ablation Persistent atrial fibrillation (4 pulmonary veins ± lines ± substrate
