Key result
Mobile EP system with mixed reality successfully guides pediatric AVNRT ablation in a single case.
Why the study?
Traditional pediatric electrophysiology procedures rely on fixed laboratory infrastructure with multiple hardwired systems, which can limit procedural availability.

Traditional pediatric electrophysiology (EP) procedures rely on fixed laboratory infrastructure with multiple hardwired systems which can limit procedural availability. This is the first reported use of a fully mobile EP system integrated with mixed reality (MxR) virtual displays to perform catheter ablation in a pediatric patient. In this case, a 9-year-old safely underwent successful radiofrequency ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia with the fully mobile MxR system. This experience demonstrates the feasibility of mobile, MxR-enabled EP systems to expand procedural access while maintaining clinical performance.

Pompa et al. (2026) conducted a case report in Supraventricular tachycardia (atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia) (n=1). Mobile electrophysiology system with mixed reality (MxR) virtual displays was evaluated on Procedural success and safety of radiofrequency ablation. A fully mobile electrophysiology system with mixed reality virtual displays was successfully used to perform radiofrequency ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia in a pediatric patient.
