Information for doctors and patients
MHL is always seeking the best new treatments in cardiology as well as outstanding treatment centres to which international patients can apply. Some of the treatments and technologies may not already be well known in some countries so we are pleased to provide an introduction here.
Niobe® magnetically guided catheterisation
The Niobe® system is used to treat atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and AV nodal reentry tachycardia.
Catheters are inserted through veins in the groin and then guided to chambers of the heart. Until recently they could only be positioned using guidewires but the Niobe® system now enables a computer to navigate the catheter into position.
The advanced software enables the surgeon to navigate the catheter through the body and to place it in position with great precision.
