Description
Maryanne Demasi reports on a robotic navigation system being used to revolutionize the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Surgeons see a 3D-map of the heart and control the operation from outside the theater - lowering exposure to radiation by as much as 40 per cent for patients and 80 per cent for doctors.
