Does Ablation Cure AFib? AFib may go away for a long time, but it can return. It’s rare, but if you have persistent or chronic AFib, you might need a second ablation within 1 year. If you’ve had AFib for more than a year, you may need one or more treatments to fix the probl...

an all-in-one, high-density (HD) mapping and pulsed field (PF) and radiofrequency (RF) ablation catheter for treatment of persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) and for RF ablation of cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI)
In this study of first-time paroxysmal AFib ablation procedures, a patient’s gender did not impact rate of clinical success, arrhythmia recurrence, or overall safety. Data did show females were older, held a higher CHADS-Vasc score, and experienced a higher percentage of left at...
“As Biosense Webster advances innovation for the treatment of AFib, we are thinking not only about new modalities of ablation, such as pulsed field ablation, but also how to make procedures safer, more effective and efficient. This includes zero ...
This well-designed trial provides strong evidence that catheter ablation is safe and effective for chronic AF. However, we must bear in mind that (1) these were highly selected patients with chronic AF; (2) this was not a trial designed to compare amiodarone with catheter ablation, but to ...
Catheter is a high-density diagnostic catheter, with small electrodes arranged in a fixed array formation to provide high-definition electrophysiological mapping of complex cardiac arrhythmia cases like persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib), redo AFib ablation, atrial tachycardia...
Graded RF power starting at 20 watts and proceeding to 30, 40 and 50 watts was applied to each electrode for 30 seconds at each power level. Following the ablation, the catheter was moved and curved over the anterior wall of the right atrium and the ablations were repeated. AFIB was indu...

“The OMNY-AF study is part of our ongoing efforts to equip electrophysiologists with the tools they need to efficiently and effectively conduct ablation procedures to drive positive outcomes for patients with AFib.” said Jennifer Currin...
