Key result
Remote magnetic navigation for ventricular tachycardia ablation achieved acute success rates of 71-80% in ischemic cardiomyopathy, 50-100% in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, and 86-100% in structurally normal hearts.

RMN is effective and safe for VT ablation; extends observational support but leaves open need for randomized trials.
Systematic Review (n=260)
Is remote magnetic navigation safe and effective for the ablation of ventricular tachycardia?
Remote magnetic navigation appears to be a feasible, effective, and safe method for VT ablation across various patient populations, though randomized comparative data are lacking.
Akca et al. (2011) conducted a systematic review in Ventricular tachycardia (n=260). Remote magnetic navigation vs. Manual catheter ablation or none was evaluated on Acute procedural success. Remote magnetic navigation for ventricular tachycardia ablation achieved acute success rates of 71-80% in ischemic cardiomyopathy, 50-100% in non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, and 86-100% in structurally normal hearts.
