The Hansen robotic system may provide an effective alternative for ablation of right-sided accessory pathways when conventional handheld steerable sheaths fail to achieve stable catheter positioning.

May facilitate right-sided AP ablation after manual sheath failure; single case leaves open need for prospective safety and efficacy data.
We report the case of a successful ablation of an accessory pathway (AP) with the Hansen robotic system. We used the robotic system for ablation of a right-sided AP, after no stable catheter position could be achieved with a handheld steerable sheath.
