Model-Based Feature Augmentation for Cardiac Ablation Target Learning From Images.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
GOAL: We present a model-based feature augmentation scheme to improve the performance of a learning algorithm for the detection of cardiac radio-frequency ablation (RFA) targets with respect to learning from images alone.

Randomized controlled trial of Amigo® robotically controlled versus manually controlled ablation of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus using a contact force ablation catheter.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: Radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of the cavo-tricuspid isthmus (CTI) is a common treatment for atrial flutter (AFL). However, achieving bi-directional CTI conduction block may be difficult, partly due to catheter instability.

Catheter Ablation of Focal Atrial Tachycardia Using Remote Magnetic Navigation.

The Journal of invasive cardiology
OBJECTIVES: The outcomes of catheter ablation in focal atrial tachycardia (AT) using remote magnetic navigation (RMN) are still controversial. The objectives of this study were to assess the acute and long-term outcomes of catheter ablation in focal ...

Ablation Index and Surround Flow Catheter Irrigation: Impedance-Based Appraisal in Clinical Ablation.

JACC. Clinical electrophysiology
OBJECTIVES: This study sought to assess the impact of ablation power and catheter irrigation during clinical radiofrequency ablation using impedance drop.

Disease-free survival assessment by artificial neural networks for hepatocellular carcinoma patients after radiofrequency ablation.

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association = Taiwan yi zhi
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) provides an effective treatment for patients who exhibit early hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stages or are waiting for liver transplantation. It is important to assess patients after RFA. The goal of...

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

International journal of cardiology
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 preci...

Design, development and evaluation of a compact telerobotic catheter navigation system.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Remote catheter navigation systems protect interventionalists from scattered ionizing radiation. However, these systems typically require specialized catheters and extensive operator training.

Impact of catheter ablation with remote magnetic navigation on procedural outcomes in patients with persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.

Journal of interventional cardiac electrophysiology : an international journal of arrhythmias and pacing
BACKGROUND: The objectives of this study were to assess the procedural outcomes of persistent and long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation (PsAF and L-PsAF) ablation guided by remote magnetic navigation (RMN), and to detect factors predicting acu...
