A comparison of contact force and remote magnetic navigation on lesion formation for the ablation of atrial fibrillation

, 2018
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the method of choice for the treatment of drug-resistant atrial fibrillation (AF). However, arrhythmia recurrences are frequently due to suboptimal lesions formation and pulmonary vein reconnection.

Origami‐Inspired Morphing Fuselage for Agile Fixed‐Wing Flight

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Conventional aircraft steer with rigid control surfaces. SoAR instead replaces the fuselage itself with a cable‐driven origami continuum body that bends in 3D and compresses on demand. Whole‐fuselage morphing steers fixed‐wing flight: achieving sharp, near‐zero‐radius turns and rapid braking without ailerons, rudder, or elevator, while the same ...

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 ...
