Does remote robotic navigation with contact force sensing improve 1-year success rates compared to manual ablation in patients undergoing first ablation for persistent AF?
The combination of remote robotic navigation and contact force sensing improves 1-year success rates and reduces fluoroscopy times for persistent AF ablation compared to manual techniques.
