Safety and Efficacy of Remote Magnetic Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Considering Natale's extensive experience, he certainly understands that unlike the perpendicular orientation of manual catheters, the stable parallel wall contact obtained with soft magnetic catheters results in rapid and effective lesions, within a few seconds from the onset of radio frequenc...

Description
Summary:Considering Natale's extensive experience, he certainly understands that unlike the perpendicular orientation of manual catheters, the stable parallel wall contact obtained with soft magnetic catheters results in rapid and effective lesions, within a few seconds from the onset of radio frequency (RF) application, thus preventing charring.
