Randomized Trial Comparing Robotic to Manual Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Clinical Trials Friday, July 25th, 2014Heartrhythmjournal: June 21, 2014
Background
Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a physically demanding procedure for the operator, involving radiation exposure, and has limited success rates. Remote robotic navigation (RRN) may offer benefit to the procedure, though only one previous small randomized trial has assessed this.
Objective
Study the impact of RRN on one year single-procedure success rates.
Methods
RRN was compared with manual ablation in a randomized control trial setting with an intention-to-treat analysis. Read More
