Remote magnetic navigation versus manual catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: A single center long-term comparison

Simon Schloegl et al.

Summary: Comparing remote magnetic catheter navigation (RMN) with manual catheter navigation (MCN) ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), the study found that RMN had higher AF recurrence rates and pulmonary vein reconnection rates compared to MCN, although the complication rates were similar. RMN group also showed reduced probability of pericardial effusion.

Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation in situs inversus dextrocardia: Challenge, improved procedure, outcomes, and literature review

Xin Zhao et al.

Summary: AF-CA in patients with situs inversus dextrocardia can be challenging due to contrary anatomy. Improved procedures and ablation strategies can ensure successful procedures, but long-term outcomes may not be favorable, indicating the need for further optimization in treatment strategies.

Pulmonary Vein Isolation and Pacemaker Implantation in a Patient with Dextrocardia Situs Inversus

Yasuhiro Yokoyama et al.

Summary: A 70-year-old female with DSI and inferior vena cava occlusion underwent successful pulmonary vein isolation for symptomatic AF, but experienced recurrence of AF and symptomatic bradycardia, leading to the implantation of a pacemaker. This case presents a rare congenital abnormality managed with these interventions without complications.
