AI Article Synopsis
- Cryoablation generally allows for solid stability (cryoadherence) of the catheter tip during cold temperatures, even when the heart is beating rapidly (tachycardia).
- A case was reported involving a young patient with a specific heart condition (parahisian accessory pathway) where this stability was not attained using a standard cryocatheter and steerable sheath.
- Ultimately, the stability was successfully achieved using a robotic system, specifically the Hansen system.
Article Abstract
A perceived distinctive feature of cryoablation is the stability (cryoadherence) of the catheter tip during cold temperatures at the desired location, even during tachycardia. We report the case report of a young patient with a parahisian accessory pathway where stability of the ablation catheter was not achieved despite using the cryocatheter with a steerable sheath. Ultimately, stability at the desired location was achieved robotically by means of Hansen system (Hansen Medical, Mountain View, CA, USA).
