- Remote Controlled Magnetic Navigation (RMN) for atrial fibrillation ablation reduces fluoroscopy time significantly compared to traditional Manual (MAN) techniques, but results in a longer overall procedural duration.
- In a study involving 214 RMN patients and 229 MAN patients, fluoroscopy times were shorter for RMN (53.5 min) while procedural times were longer (280.2 min), highlighting a trade-off between these two factors.
- Despite differences in timing, both techniques showed similar rates of acute procedural success (98.6% for RMN vs. 95.6% for MAN) and complication rates (2.3% for RMN vs. 4.8% for MAN), suggesting RMN is

Bariatric surgery appears to be a viable alternative for those who have failed trials of traditional weight loss methods. However, anaesthetic and surgical risks are potential barriers.
