Electrocardiography-controlled central venous catheter tip positioning in patients with atrial fibrillation.

CONCLUSION: Electrocardiography-guided central venous catheter tip positioning is a feasible real-time method for patients with atrial fibrillation. Combined with ultrasound, the electrocardiography-controlled central venous catheter placement may eliminate the need for postinterventional radiation exposure.
