A Mobile Electrophysiology System with Mixed Reality Virtual Screens for Pediatric Ablation

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: Traditional pediatric electrophysiology (EP) procedures rely on fixed laboratory infrastructure with multiple hardwired systems which can limit procedural availability. This is the first reported use of a fully mobile EP system integrated with mixed reality (MxR) virtual displays to perform catheter ablation in a pediatric patient. In this case, a 9-year-old safely underwent successful radiofrequency ablation for atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia with the fully mobile MxR system. This experience demonstrates the feasibility of mobile, MxR-enabled EP systems to expand procedural access while maintaining clinical performance.
