Initial experience with remote magnetic navigation for left ventricular lead placement
Acta Cardiologica, 2009A novel magnetic navigation system allows remote steering of guidewires and catheters. This system may be used for left ventricular lead placement for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We sought to evaluate the feasibility and safety of magnetic guidewire navigation for CRT procedures.123 consecutive patients underwent CRT implantation/revision ...

Catheter Ablation Utilizing Remote Magnetic Navigation: A Review of Applications and Outcomes
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, 2012The utilization of the NIOBE™ magnetic navigation system (MNS, Stereotaxis, St. Louis, MO, USA) has increased significantly since the first published report in 2002. There has been much enthusiasm for this technology as a means to reduce radiation exposure to the patient and physician alike, and potentially decrease risks associated with catheter ...

Forces on cardiac implantable electronic devices during remote magnetic navigation
Clinical Research in Cardiology, 2012Remote magnetic navigation systems are used for catheter navigation in cardiac electrophysiological ablation procedures. In this setting, ferromagnetic particles will be moved by changes in the magnetic field. It is unknown to what extent cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are affected by the magnetic field when using magnetic navigation ...

ACUTE AND LONGITUDINAL EFFICACY WITH REMOTE MAGNETIC NAVIGATION FOR PVC ABLATION
Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2019Remote magnetic navigation (RMN) is an alternative to manual catheter ablation of premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). When compared to manual, RMN has a theoretical advantage of tip stability, which could result in higher acute procedural success.

Remote Magnetic Navigation to Map and Ablate Left Coronary Cusp Ventricular Tachycardia
Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, 2006Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) and ventricular tachycardia may arise from the coronary cusps. Navigation, mapping, and ablation in the coronary cusps can be challenging. Remote magnetic navigation may offer an alternative to conventional manually operated catheters.We report a case of left coronary cusp ventricular tachycardia ablation using
