INTRODUCTION: Remote navigation systems represent a novel strategy for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). The goal of this study is to describe a single-center experience with the electromechanical robotic system (Sensei, Hansen Medical) in treatment of patients with paroxysmal AF. METHODS: Out of 200 patients who underwent robotically guided ablation for AF between 2007 and 2009 at our institute, 100 patients (29 women, age 56.5 ± 10 years) had paroxysmal AF refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs. Electroanatomic mapping using NavX system (St. Jude Medical) provided anatomical shell for subsequent circumferential ablation with robotic catheter (Artisan) loaded with a 3.5-mm, open-irrigation, cooled-tip ablation catheter. RESULTS: A mean of 69 radiofrequency current applications (duration 2082 ± 812 seconds) were delivered to achieve circumferential electrical isolation of pulmonary venous antra. Total procedural time reached 222 ± 54 minutes. The mean fluoroscopic time was 11.9 ± 7.8 minutes. There were no major procedure-related complications. After a median follow-up of 15 months (range 3-28 months), 63% of the patients were free from any atrial arrhythmias ≥ 30 seconds after the single procedure. Success rate increased to 86% after 1.2 procedures. Multivariate analysis revealed that only predictor of recurrent AF/AT was shorter overall procedural time (207 ± 36 vs 236 ± 64 minutes in patients with and without recurrences, respectively, P = 0.0068). CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates feasibility and safety of robotic navigation in catheter ablation for paroxysmal AF. Midterm follow-up documents success rate comparable to other technologies and potential for improvement in more extensive ablation along the ridges with thicker myocardium.
