The Impact of Left Atrial Size in Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation Using Remote Magnetic Navigation

Figure 1

In vitro experiments showed the effect of different amounts of magnets deployed beyond the sheath tip on the flexibility of the catheter. (a) The work position of the RMN, catheter, and SR0 sheath. (b) and (c) The maximum catheter reach in two different orientations with one magnet deployed. (d) and (e) The maximum catheter reach in two different orientations of two magnets deployed. (f) and (g) The maximum catheter reach in two different orientations with all three magnets deployed.
