Abstract: MRI-guided navigation, Electro-Physiological (EP) voltage mapping of the left ventricle, as well as mapping and Radio-Frequency Ablation (RFA) at the Pulmonary Vein/Left Atrium junction, were previously demonstrated in swine models (references [ 1 – 3 ]). This study is an extension of the MRI-tracked technique, using simultaneous multiple-catheter tracking, to locate, perform RFA and verify ablation of the Atrio-Ventricular (AV) node, with electrical and MRI signatures. AV node ablation is a treatment component for types of arrhythmia, usually followed by pacemaker implantation.
