AF Ablation by Aortic Retrograde Approach Using an MNS . Stereotaxis remote magnetic navigation system (MNS) (St. Louis, MO, USA) is a new technology with applications in the field of catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. We report a case where the Stereotaxis MNS was successfully used to perform pulmonary vein isolation by a retrograde approach in a patient with atrial fibrillation in whom transseptal access was impossible.
