Abstract

Epicardial mapping and ablation of arrhythmias: is magnetic navigation the answer we have been waiting for?

Highlights

  • Endocardial catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias has emerged as a powerful treatment over the last decades

  • Damage to the coronary vessels is a potential complication of epicardial mapping radiofrequency ablation

  • Abraham et al confirm that magnetic navigating system (MNS) can be used for epicardial mapping, as has been demonstrated by others [1, 6]

Summary

Introduction

Endocardial catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmias has emerged as a powerful treatment over the last decades. Damage to the coronary vessels is a potential complication of epicardial mapping radiofrequency ablation. They may assist in reducing radiation exposure to both the operator and the patient.
