Overcoming Access Challenges to Treat Arrhythmias in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease Using Robotic Magnetic-Guided Catheter Ablation.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of congenital heart disease (CHD) has surged in recent decades, owing to a substantial reduction in mortality. As individuals with CHD age, they become increasingly susceptible to late complications including arrhythmias. These arrhythmias often arise decades after surgical intervention and significantly impact quality of life, hospitalizations, and mortality. Catheter ablation has gained widespread acceptance as a critical intervention for managing arrhythmias in patients with CHD. However, anatomical and physiological features unique to this population pose challenges to standard manual ablation procedures, potentially impacting safety and efficacy. Robotic magnetic-guided navigation (RMN) has emerged as a technological solution to address these challenges. By utilizing so
