Abstract

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.
