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...

Partial displacement of epidural catheter after patient position change: A case report.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
Epidural catheter migration is a well-known cause of failed anesthesia and complications. One of the factors that affect catheter movement is when patients change their position after skin fixation. We report a case of an epidural catheter placed wit...

First-in-human robotic percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main stenosis.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
The safety and feasibility of robotically-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for simple coronary lesions has been demonstrated. The CorPath robotic system (Corpath 200, Corindus, Waltham, MA) consists of a robotic arm mounted on the ca...

Experience matters: long-term results of pulmonary vein isolation using a robotic navigation system for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.

Clinical research in cardiology : official journal of the German Cardiac Society
BACKGROUND: Long-term results after circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) using a robotic navigation system (RNS) have not yet been reported.

The impact of precise robotic lesion length measurement on stent length selection: ramifications for stent savings.

Cardiovascular revascularization medicine : including molecular interventions
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Coronary stent deployment outcomes can be negatively impacted by inaccurate lesion measurement and inappropriate stent length selection (SLS). We compared visual estimate of these parameters to those provided by the CorPath 200® R...

Robotic ablation of atrial fibrillation.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). During PVI an electrical conduction block between pulmonary vein (PV) and left atrium (LA) is created. This conduction block prevents AF, which is tr...

2D-3D radiograph to cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) registration for C-arm image-guided robotic surgery.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: C-arm radiographs are commonly used for intraoperative image guidance in surgical interventions. Fluoroscopy is a cost-effective real-time modality, although image quality can vary greatly depending on the target anatomy. Cone-beam computed ...

Comparison of CT Fluoroscopy-Guided Manual and CT-Guided Robotic Positioning System for In Vivo Needle Placements in Swine Liver.

Cardiovascular and interventional radiology
PURPOSE: To compare CT fluoroscopy-guided manual and CT-guided robotic positioning system (RPS)-assisted needle placement by experienced IR physicians to targets in swine liver.

Robotic-assisted thermal ablation of liver tumours.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the technical success, radiation dose, safety and performance level of liver thermal ablation using a computed tomography (CT)-guided robotic positioning system.

Image-guided microwave thermoablation of hepatic tumours using novel robotic guidance: an early experience.

European radiology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate and compare novel robotic guidance and manual approaches based on procedural accuracy, procedural time, procedural performance, image quality as well as patient dose during image-guided microwave thermoablation.
