TuesdayRobotic Navigation System Ablates Atrial Fibrillation - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today
MORE
A robotic device that remotely controls a special cardiac ablation catheter has halted atrial fibrillation in 38 of 40 patients, according to investigators here. They hope that robotic technology will do for interventional cardiology what it has already done for thoracic surgeons --maximize benefit while minimizing risk. Thoracic surgeons use robotic technology to repair mitral valves through quarter-sized incisions and without the morbidity associated with sternotomy. Now a report in the April 4 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology described the use of robotic magnetic navigation in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing circumferential pulmonary vein ablation. |
