Does the combination of Hansen Robotic system with cryocatheter improve catheter stability in a patient with a parahisian accessory pathway?
The Hansen Robotic system can be used to achieve catheter stability with a cryocatheter during ablation of a parahisian accessory pathway when standard steerable sheaths fail.

May support robotic cryocatheter stability after sheath failure in select ablations; leaves open prospective validation before wider use.
A perceived distinctive feature of cryoablation is the stability (cryoadherence) of the catheter tip during cold temperatures at the desired location, even during tachycardia. We report the case report of a young patient with a parahisian accessory pathway where stability of the ablation catheter was not achieved despite using the cryocatheter with a steerable sheath. Ultimately, stability at the desired location was achieved robotically by means of Hansen system (Hansen Medical, Mountain View, CA, USA).
