title: Successful ablation of focal left atrial tachycardia using Stereotaxis Niobe remote magnetic navigation system.
abstract: Stereotaxis Niobe remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) (St Louise, USA), is a new technology that has applications in the field of catheter based ablation treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. Most if not all data on the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of the Stereotaxis Niobe MNS comes from select centres where highly skilled personnel have acquired considerable experience using this technology. Herein, we report a case where the Stereotaxis Niobe MNS was successfully used to perform remotely-controlled high density three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping and radiofrequency ablation of a focal atrial tachycardia originating from the anteroseptal region of the left atrium.
