Cardiac cryo-ablation is being increasingly used for treatment of atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. However, reported success rate of the procedures is moderate and serious complications have been observed. MRI has a potential to improve success rate of cardiac cryo-ablations and reduce complications. In this study, feasibility of real-time MRI guided cardiac cryo-ablation procedure was studied.
