Smart AF ablation guidance systems may shorten procedures; hypothesis-generating for robotic integration pending prospective validation.
Arrhythmia ablation requires real-time analysis of complex electrical and anatomic data, and integration with catheter mapping and guidance. There is a need for smart systems that can improve patient outcomes by guiding sensing/ablation catheters directly to ablation targets in atrial fibrillation (AF) without lengthy mapping. Such systems, if developed, could also serve as guidance engines for robotic catheter maneuvering systems (Fig. A).
