Key result
Ablation using the Stereotaxis Niobe Magnetic Navigation System successfully treated a case of right atrial appendage tachycardia that was resistant to multiple previous ablation attempts.
Case Report (n=1)
A magnetic navigation system may be an effective tool for ablating right atrial appendage tachycardia that is resistant to conventional ablation attempts.
Magnetic navigation may aid refractory right atrial appendage tachycardia ablation; hypothesis-generating case report leaves role unproven.
The right atrial appendage is an uncommon site of origin for ectopic atrial tachycardia. Right atrial appendage tachycardia (RAAT) has been noted to be prevalent in young males and responds well to radiofrequency ablation. We report a case of RAAT resistant to multiple attempts of ablation that responded to ablation using Stereotaxis Niobe™ Magnetic Navigation System (RMN, Stereotaxis, St. Louis, MO, USA) .

Khan et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Right atrial appendage tachycardia (RAAT) (n=1). Ablation using Stereotaxis Niobe Magnetic Navigation System was evaluated on Response to ablation. Ablation using the Stereotaxis Niobe Magnetic Navigation System successfully treated a case of right atrial appendage tachycardia that was resistant to multiple previous ablation attempts.
