Dr. Khan, a leading heart surgeon in the Netherlands, uses a revolutionary magnetic catheter technique to perform heart surgery remotely. This method allows precise control of the catheter inside the heart, reducing the risk of complications. The technique is particularly beneficial for patients with atrial fibrillation, as it restores the heart's natural rhythm without the need for open-heart surgery. The procedure involves inserting the catheter through a small incision and controlling it with magnets, akin to a video game. Dr. Khan is one of the few surgeons using this method, which promises faster and more refined treatments in the future. The successful operation on a patient named Joka highlights the potential of this innovative approach.
