Robotic cardiac catheters have the potential to revolutionize heart surgery by extending minimally invasive techniques to complex surgical repairs inside the heart. However, cathet...
Radio-frequency catheter ablation (RFCA) has become an accepted treatment option for atrial fibrillation (Afib). RFCA of Afib involves isolation of the pulmonary veins under X-r...
