Robotic ablation
Robotic ablation is catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias performed by an electrophysiologist using a robotic system. The robotic system consists of a robotic sheath that manipulates cardiac catheters, operated remotely at a nearby control station.

Until recently, cardiac arrhythmias (heart rhythm disorders) could only be treated with medication, which only relieved symptoms for a few patients. Many others would continue to experience symptoms, particularly breathlessness and palpitations. In addition, some forms of arrhythmia could only be treated with risky open heart surgery.
Over the last 20–30 years, catheter ablation has come to be used for most heart arrhythmia conditions:〔Hunter RJ, Schilling RJ. Long term outcome after catheter ablation for AF: safety, efficacy and impact on prognosis. Heart. 2010: 96; 1259-63.〕〔Hunter RJ, Schilling RJ. Catheter and surgical ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. Primary Care Cardiovascular Journal 2010;Published online first.〕 an electrophysiologist passes thin catheters up through veins in the leg towards the heart. By emitting radiofrequency energy at the tip of these catheters, it is possible to destroy the area of heart tissue causing the arrhythmia. Still, the technique is technically challenging, particularly with atrial fibrillation, with success requiring continuous lines of scar to encircle the pulmonary veins in the left atrium.
