Cardiology
Heart centres around the world use catheterisation as part of both diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Until recently this involved the insertion of catheters elsewhere and navigating them through the body and into the heart using guidewires.
Now the advanced software of the Niobe system uses magnetic guidance from outside the body instead of wires. This enables enables the surgeon to navigate the catheter through the body and to place it in position with great precision and reduces exposure to X-rays.

Occluder Closure
An occluder is an innovative technique for percutaneous transluminal closure of defects in the septum of the heart (without resorting to heart surgery).
A fine synthetic tube (catheter) is inserted through the skin in the region of the groin and advanced via the vascular system into the heart. A 'folded up' wire-mesh implant is then advanced as far as the defect to be closed (hole), where it is opened up.
This does not constitute a cardiac surgical procedure in the conventional sense and normally, the patient can be discharged 1-2 days later.
This technique can be used to repair Atrium Septal Defect (hole in the septum of the atrium) and Patent Foramen Ovale (passage/slit in the septum of the atrium)
