3453aqty1 Remote Cardiac Catheter Procedure Keeps Clinicians Away from X Ray Beam
Yesterday at Glenfield Hospital in Leicester, clinicians performed the first remote catheter ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The procedure involved an Amigo Robotic Catheter System from Catheter Robotics of Mount Olive, NJ in combination with the CARTO-3 3D mapping system from Biosense Webster, a J&J firm. The Glenfield Hospital is the first in the world to evaluate the Amigo system and so had the opportunity to bring together the two devices.
