The magnetic navigation system allows precision wire‐tip control that is guided by computer generated 3D models based on fluoroscopic images. These images can be post‐processed and the information used to facilitate steering of wires in difficult anatomy. This report illustrates two of these reconstruction software packages in a challenging saphenous vein graft case. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
