Robotic sheath use was associated with shorter ablation times and fewer recurrences; leaves open efficacy in randomized AF ablation trials.
Does magnetic navigation with a robotic deflectable sheath improve procedural parameters and clinical outcomes compared to a catheter-only advancement system in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation?
The use of a robotic deflectable sheath during magnetic navigation-guided atrial fibrillation ablation improves procedural efficiency and reduces clinical recurrences compared to a standard catheter-only advancement system.
