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
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.
