Substantial superiority of Niobe ES over Niobe II system in remote-controlled magnetic pulmonary vein isolation.

Journal: International journal of cardiology

PMID: 28040291

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AFib) primarily relies upon pulmonary vein isolation (PVI), but such procedures are associated with significant X-ray exposure. The newer Epoch system has been developed so as to enable more precise magnetic navigation whilst limiting X-ray exposure.
