(MedPage Today) -- LONDON -- Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) produced real short-term improvements for people with atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF), according to the first sham-controlled trial on the subject. Continuous monitoring by implantable.
tim.hodson Thu, 03/27/2025 - 12:18 March 27, 2025 Abbott recently announced it has received CE Mark in Europe for the Volt PFA System to treat patients battling atrial fibrillation (AFib). Today, approximately 8 million Europeans over the age of 65 are living with AFib, a number expected to double over the next 30 years.
(MedPage Today) -- The FDA approved the Farapulse pulsed field ablation (PFA) system for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF), Boston Scientific announced on Wednesday. The device won an indication for the isolation of pulmonary veins in.
The international, multi-center trial will provide clinical evaluation of Cortex's 510(k) cleared Ablamap System with electrographic flow (EGF) and newly released Ablacath Mapping Catheter basket mapping catheter to identify extra-pulmonary vein EGF sources.
The AFib pulsed field ablation treatment era officially began in the US last week, following the FDA approval of Medtronic’s PulseSelect Pulsed Field Ablation System for the treatment of both paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.
Titled "Real-world Data Affirms Safety and Effectiveness of Low/Zero Fluoroscopy Atrial Fibrillation Ablation," the study was presented as a late-breaker at the 29th Annual International AF Symposium. Biosense Webster's zero fluoroscopy workflow is the first and only such workflow available in a radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation device.
During its Annual Conference, HRS 2024, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) announced findings from three new studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation (PFA), a nonthermal ablation treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). See full findings from the FARADISE, admIRE Study, and Advent Trial here.
The VARIPULSE Platform is comprised of the VARIPULSE Catheter, a fully integrated variable-loop multielectrode catheter; the TRUPULSE Generator, a pulsed field ablation (PFA) generator; and the CARTO 3 System VARIPULSE Software, which provides full integration with the world's leading 3D cardiac mapping system.
The combined solutions are expected to enhance performance and streamline workflows for electrophysiologists during catheter ablation procedures to treat atrial fibrillation , AFib. 1 Approximately 33 million patients worldwide are living with AFib. 1 Approximately 33 million patients worldwide are living with AFib.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System for isolation of pulmonary veins in the treatment of drug-refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib), according to a Boston Scientific press release.
Performing additional catheter ablations targeting diseased myocardium along with the standard approach of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) did not reduce the recurrence of AFib at one year, based on findings from the SUPPRESS-AF trial presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London.
Additionally, this platform integrates parameters such as contact force measurement and ablation indexes for RF and PFA which have proven in preclinical studies to be critical for lesion creation. With this differentiated system, Biosense Webster is giving EPs the tools and information they need in real-time.
The pipeline of algorithms likely to clear regulatory hurdles and enter the cardiac market over the next 12-18 months include those for Pulmonary Hypertension, Cardiac Amyloidosis, Diastolic dysfunction, and Hyperkalaemia. Fertile Partnerships Ongoing research partnerships have driven much of recent developments seen in the market.
Further ultrasound showed no B-lines (no pulmonary edema). WPW Cardiac arrhythmias ( especially AFib ). The heart rate is too fast for this poor filling. Preload must be increased and the heart rate slowed in order to allow more LV filling. These patients are often on beta blockers to prevent such a scenario. 23/WCC — 2/21/2020 ).
Boston Scientific made what could become a major addition to its electrophysiology portfolio, acquiring AFib mapping startup Cortex, Inc. Cortex gives Boston Scientific a new mapping technology that detects AFib signs and triggers outside of the pulmonary veins, and can help EP teams develop ablation strategies for more complex AFib cases.
With this approval, Medtronic now offers two PFA technologies available for patients with Afib. With this approval, Medtronic now offers two PFA technologies available for patients with Afib. With a short learning curve for experienced physicians, the possibilities are boundless for the treatment of Afib," said Vivek Reddy, M.D.,
