Catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias using remote magnetic navigation in patients with reduced ejection fraction [PDF]
Objective. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is an effective treatment option for cardiac arrhythmias including complex and ventricular arrhythmias. Remote magnetic catheter navigation (RMN) has been developed as a novel way of approach aiming to improve ...

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 ...

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 ...

Statistical Characterization of the Magnetic Field in Space during Magnetic Storms
Magnetic storms are an important type of space weather and are usually caused by large streams of charged elementary particles (ions, for example) generated during solar wind production. The occurrence of magnetic storms can pose a threat to the internal

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 ...

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.
