Remote Magnetic Navigation With Irrigated Tip Catheter for Ablation of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation [PDF]

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, 2010
Background— The remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) has been used with a nonirrigated magnetic catheter for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and efficiency of the newly available irrigated tip magnetic catheter for index pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients

Remote magnetic navigation for ablation of typical atrial flutter: Long-term results

Revista Portuguesa de Cardiologia (English Edition), 2014
Remote magnetic navigation has proved to be effective in the ablation of most supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias. Initial studies reported worse results with this system compared to conventional ablation for atrial flutter. The aim of this study was to assess the acute and long-term success of atrial flutter ablation with remote magnetic ...
