Popis: Robotic magnetic navigation (RMN) has emerged as a potential solution to overcome challenges associated with catheter ablation of arrhythmias in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). To assess safety and efficacy of RMNguided catheter ablation in patients with CHD. A systematic review and pooled analysis was conducted on patients with CHD who underwent RMNguided catheter ablation. Random effects models were used to generate pooled estimates with the inverse variance method used for weighting studies. Twentyfour nonoverlapping records included 167 patients with CHD, mean age 36.5 years, 44.6% female. Type of CHD was simple in 27 (16.2%), moderate in 32 (19.2%), and complex in 106 (63.5%). A total of 202 procedures targeted 260 arrhythmias, the most common being macroreentrant atrial circuits. The mean procedural duration was 207.5 minutes, with a mean fluoroscopy time of 12.1 minutes. The pooled acute success rate was 89.2% [95% CI (77.8%, 97.4%)]. Freedom from arrhythmia recurrence was 84.5% [95% CI (72.5%, 94.0%)] over a mean follow-up of 24.3 months. The procedural complication rate was 3.5% with no complication attributable to RMN technology. RMN-guided ablation appears to be safe and effective across a variety of arrhythmia substrates and types of CHD.
