About
Dr. Udo Meyerfeldt is a leading authority in cardiac electrophysiology, with a focused expertise in the remote robotic navigation system (RNS) for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). His major contributions center on rigorously evaluating the safety and efficacy of robotic ablation compared to traditional manual techniques. Dr. Meyerfeldt’s seminal work includes a large worldwide survey (66 citations) that established the methodology and safety profile of the Hansen Robotic system for AF ablation. He also conducted pivotal prospective studies that identified and quantified critical complications associated with this technology, including the incidence of oesophageal lesions (62 citations) and persistent iatrogenic atrial septal defects (51 citations). Notably, his comparative research on silent cerebral lesions (51 citations) provided essential long-term follow-up data, revealing how ablation technology impacts neurological risk. As a key investigator in the landmark "Man and Machine Trial," Dr. Meyerfeldt has helped define the learning curve and tangible benefits of robotic systems. His work has been instrumental in shaping modern ablation protocols, directly influencing patient safety and procedural outcomes for thousands of patients worldwide.
