Remote Magnetic Navigation to Guide Endocardial and Epicardial Catheter Mapping of Scar-Related Ventricular Tachycardia

Abstract: Background-The present study examines the safety and feasibility of using a remote magnetic navigation system to perform endocardial and epicardial substrate-based mapping and radiofrequency ablation in patients with scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT). Methods and Results-Using the magnetic navigation system, we performed 27 procedures on 24 consecutive patients with a history of VT related to myocardial infarction, dilated cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic ca… Show more

“…One of the advantages of this system is the peculiar flexibility of the catheter, which therefore can be magnetically guided and stably positioned in sites difficult for standard catheters, such as the coronary cusps and the right ventricular outflow tract [68,69] . Single center studies show that in VT patients, endocardial and epicardial mapping and ablation using this system is safe and feasible with minimal radiation exposure for the patient [70,71] . It has been recently reported that remote magnetic navigation may be more effective than manual ablation [72] .…”

“…32,[45][46][47][48][49][50] Parallel to the growing evidence of conventional epicardial ablation for VT, the magnetic navigation system has been used in the epicardial space, which became possible when the irrigated catheter became available. 50,51 Results on safety and feasibility of the technology in diagnosing and treating complex ventricular arrhythmias were initially reported in 2007 50,52 in both animal models 52 and in humans, 50 with good overall results and minimal fluoroscopy exposure using a 4-mm solid-tip magnetic catheter. Dinov et al 53 retrospectively analysed the long-term efficacy of a single procedure ablation for ischaemic VT and compared it with manual radiofrequency ablation in 102 patients using irrigated-tip catheters.…”
