Boston Scientific Receives FDA Approval for FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System

DAIC

Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has granted approval to Boston Scientific for its FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System. A company statement reported that its PFA System is indicated for the isolation of pulmonary veins in the treatment of drug-refractory, recurrent, symptomatic, paroxysmal (i.e.,

Novel cryoballoon technology for atrial fibrillation ablation: Impact of pulmonary vein variant anatomy, cooling characteristics, and 1-year outcome from the CHARISMA registry

HeartRhythm

No data have been reported on cooling characteristics and the impact of variant pulmonary vein (PV) anatomy on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrences after POLARx cryoballoon (CB) ablation.

Impact of Right Pulmonary Vein Anatomical Variations on Phrenic Nerve Trajectory and Pulmonary Vein Isolation Strategy: Pre-Procedural Imaging and 3D Mapping Insights

HeartRhythm

Predicting phrenic nerve (PN) location based on right pulmonary vein (RPV) anatomy using pre-ablation imaging may help avoid PN injury.

Characteristics of anatomical difficulty for cryoballoon ablation: insights from CT

Open Heart

Background The limited availability of balloon sizes for cryoballoon leads to anatomical limitations for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation. Search keywords included ‘atrial fibrillation’, ‘cryoballoon ablation’ and ‘anatomy’ Results Overall, 243 articles were identified.

PO-06-159 RAPID LEFT ATRIAL ANATOMICAL RENDERING AND PULMONARY VEIN ISOLATION USING A NOVEL CONFORMABLE “SINGLE-SHOT” PULSED FIELD ABLATION CATHETER

HeartRhythm

“Single-shot” pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheters are challenged by the need for serial re-positioning and rotation, difficulties with easily accommodating varying PV anatomies, and the need for a second catheter to perform electroanatomical mapping.

Difference in tissue temperature change between two cryoballoons

Open Heart

Background Cryoballoon ablation, especially Arctic Front Advance Pro (AFA-Pro) (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA), has been widely recognised as a standard approach to atrial fibrillation (AF). Recently, Boston Scientific has released a novel cryoballoon system (POLARx). °C±4.9°C, °C±5.9°C

Different leadless pacemakers working in harmony (Aveir in the atrium/Micra AV2 in the ventricle) in a patient with dextrocardia and double outlet right ventricle after high?risk infected device extraction

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

Methods We present the first described case of using two leadless pacing systems manufactured by separate companies implanted within the same patient to provide atrial and ventricular pacing due to complex congenital anatomy.
