We aimed at assessing the feasibility and efficacy of remote magnetic navigation (MN) and ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF).This novel MN system could facilitate standardization of the procedures, reducing the importance of the operator skill.After becoming familiar with the system in 48 previous patients, 45 consecutive patients with ...

Feasibility of remote magnetic navigation for epicardial ablation [PDF]
Percutaneous epicardial mapping and ablation is an emerging method to treat ventricular tachycardias (VT), premature ventricular complexes (PVC), and accessory pathways. The use of a remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) could enhance precision and maintain safety.

A Magnetic-Resonance-Imaging-Compatible Remote Catheter Navigation System [PDF]
A remote catheter navigation system compatible with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been developed to facilitate MRI-guided catheterization procedures. The interventionalist's conventional motions (axial motion and rotation) on an input catheter - acting as the master - are measured by a pair of optical encoders, and a custom embedded system ...

Advanced ablation strategies for management of post-surgical atrial arrhythmias. [PDF]
Post-surgical arrhythmias include a wide range of arrhythmias occurring late after cardiac surgery and represent a complex substrate for catheter ablation either because of extended scar and remodeling or because of limited access to the area of interest.

Initial Experience With Remote Catheter Ablation Using a Novel Magnetic Navigation System [PDF]
Background— Catheters are typically stiff and incorporate a pull-wire mechanism to allow tip deflection. While standing at the patient’s side, the operator manually navigates the catheter in the heart using fluoroscopic guidance. Methods and Results—

Magnetically Guided Catheters, Micro- and Nanorobots for Spinal Cord Stimulation
Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) is an established treatment for refractory pain syndromes and has recently been applied to improve locomotion. Several technical challenges are faced by surgeons during SCS lead implantation, particularly in the confined ...

Remote magnetic navigation and arrhythmia ablation
Radiofrequency treatment is the first-choice treatment for arrhythmias, in particular complex arrhythmias and especially atrial fibrillation, due to the greater benefit/risk ratio compared with antiarrhythmic drugs. However, complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation require long procedures with additional risks such as X-ray exposure or serious ...

Remote magnetic navigation vs. manual navigation for ablation of ventricular tachycardia: a meta-analysis [PDF]
The purpose of this study was to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of remote magnetic navigation (RMN) in comparison with manual catheter navigation (MCN) in performing ventricular tachycardia ablation.An electronic search was performed using PubMed (1948-2013) and EMBASE (1974-2013) studies comparing RMN with MCN which were published ...

Remote Magnetic Navigation: A Focus on Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias [PDF]
A Focus on Catheter Ablation of Ventricular ArrhythmiasVT ablation is based on percutaneous catheter insertion under fluoroscopic guidance to selectively destroy (i.e., ablate) myocardial tissue regions responsible for the initiation or propagation of ventricular arrhythmias.
