“Medtronic plans to be a leader in AF ablation by designing and delivering breakthrough atrial fibrillation therapies to help physicians treat the estimated seven million people worldwide suffering from this disease,” said Reggie Groves, vice president and general manager of Medtronic’s AF Solutions division. “Our goal is to provide safe, easy solutions that offer more predictable procedure times than current treatment methods and will allow physicians to customize care and reduce the reoccurrence of AF for their patients.”
“This unique system will offer physicians a way to tailor their care for treating continuous atrial fibrillation in their patients,” said John Hummel, M.D., professor, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at The Ohio State University College of Medicine in Columbus, Ohio. “In this clinical trial, the anatomical design of each catheter allowed me to efficiently map and ablate broad areas in the left atrium. As a result, the simplified process helped me decrease procedure times.”
