Abstract
Background— Radiofrequency current ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) requires high technical skills to achieve optimal catheter stability and is associated with an individually high x-ray exposure to both the patient and the operator. To facilitate catheter navigation and to reduce the operator’s x-ray burden, remote navigation (RN) systems have been developed. Considerations for navigation of a novel remote robotic navigation system in pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedures are reported.Keywords
