Key result
MRI-guided active catheter tracking was used for real-time 3D intracardiac navigation, mapping, and ablation in a 60 kg swine.
Feasibility demonstrated in swine; leaves open translation to human electrophysiology procedures.
Electrophysiological (EP) procedures guided by real-time MRI are highly attractive. Previously, we have reported first in man usage of such diagnostic EP studies as well as RA isthmus ablation. Passive catheter tracking, however, is one of the main limitations. Here, we present first results from MRI-guided active catheter tracking used for real-time 3D intracardiac navigation, mapping, and ablation. In a 60 kg swine, a 3D data set containing heart and …
