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