Robotic magnetic navigation for atrial fibrillation ablation is safe and feasible

This article has no abstract so we have provided the first paragraph of the full text.

Successful ablation therapy for atrial fibrillation is partly dependent on the stability and accuracy of catheter navigation. Robotic magnetic navigation systems have been designed to assist with complex catheter maneuvers and have been tested in experimental feasibility studies. Following on from these investigations, Pappone et al. now report the outcome of their comparative study of magnetic catheter guidance and a conventional catheter ablation technique in humans.
