The upper pulmonary veins (PVs) are responsible for the majority of atrial fibrillation (AF) triggering foci, whereas the inferior PVs are more difficult to ablate and prone to postablation ostial ...

Abbott designed the Volt PFA catheter for maneuverability, efficient ablation and thermal risk mitigation, said Dr.

Pulse Biosciences is developing nsPFA technology for cardiac ablation to treat AFib and for ablating benign thyroid nodules.

For people with atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF), stopping ... even if largely confined to the pulmonary veins," Chu explained. "Additionally, "AF is now understood to be a progressive condition ...

The system, which has received CE Mark approval in Europe, adds to an increasingly crowded field of PFA technologies.

The study subjects were 51 consecutive patients with highly symptomatic permanent (n = 25) or persistent (n = 26) atrial fibrillation resistant to, or intolerant of, drug therapy. Atrial ...

The pulse frequency is faster and reduces the risk of injury to the surrounding tissue, including the esophagus, which is close to where Wright's AFib was in the pulmonary veins. The radio ...

Abbott Laboratories' second-generation pulse field ablation device for atrial fibrillation has received ... edge design helps physicians achieve pulmonary vein isolation in fewer ablation attempts ...

CardioFocus, Inc., a medical device company dedicated to advancing ablation treatment for cardiac arrhythmias, announced the continuation of the Quick AF study, which evaluates the investigational ...
