Robotic catheters enable precise steering of their distal tip while inside the body's blood vessels, and with this ability comes the need for control systems that fit into the clinical workflow. In this study, we propose a novel bedside admittance co...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Atrial fibrillation (AF), a common arrhythmia, is linked with atrial electrical and structural changes, notably low voltage areas (LVAs) which are associated with poor ablation outcomes and increased thromboembolic risk. This ...

INTRODUCTION: Catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation yields sub-optimal success rates partly due to the considerable heterogeneity within the patient population. Identifying distinct patient phenotypes based on post-ablation prognosis co...
This study introduces an innovative master-slave cardiac ablation catheter robot system that employs magnetorheological fluids. The system incorporates magnetorheological fluid to enable collision detection through haptic feedback, thereby enhancing ...
Although pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become the cornerstone ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (AF), the optimal ablation procedure for persistent and long-standing persistent AF remains elusive. Targeting spatio-temporal electrogram d...
BACKGROUND: The opaque nature of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms has led to distrust in medical contexts, particularly in the treatment and monitoring of atrial fibrillation. Although previous studies in explainable AI have demonstrated poten...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite advancements in ablation techniques, predicting recurrence of AF remains a challenge, necessitating reliable models to identif...
BACKGROUND: Although catheter ablation (CA) is currently the most effective clinical treatment for atrial fibrillation, its variable therapeutic effects among different patients present numerous problems. Machine learning (ML) shows promising potenti...

BACKGROUND: It is difficult to identify patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) most likely to respond to ablation. While any arrhythmia patient may recur after acutely successful ablation, AF is unusual in that patients may have long-term arrhythmia ...
