Key result
The Stereotaxis remote magnetic navigation system successfully achieved pulmonary vein isolation via a retrograde approach in a patient with atrial fibrillation and impossible transseptal access.
Case Report (n=1)
Stereotaxis remote magnetic navigation system can be successfully used for pulmonary vein isolation via a retrograde aortic approach when transseptal access is impossible.
May enable PVI when transseptal access is impossible; leaves open questions of safety, efficacy, and generalizability.
AF Ablation by Aortic Retrograde Approach Using an MNS . Stereotaxis remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) (St. Louis, MO, USA) is a new technology with applications in the field of catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. We report a case where the Stereotaxis MNS was successfully used to perform pulmonary vein isolation by a retrograde approach in a patient with atrial fibrillation in whom transseptal access was impossible.

Miyazaki et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Atrial fibrillation (n=1). Stereotaxis remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) via aortic retrograde approach was evaluated on Successful pulmonary vein isolation. The Stereotaxis remote magnetic navigation system successfully achieved pulmonary vein isolation via a retrograde approach in a patient with atrial fibrillation and impossible transseptal access.
