This ablation technique may help spare other tissue types from inadvertent injury to adjacent structures such as the esophagus, pulmonary vein connective tissue and the phrenic nerve.3 “The enrollment of the first patient in the admIRE study marks an important milestone in our journey to bring forward a best-in-class PFA platform to our customers, who have ...
Clinically, this translates into the prevention of skeletal muscle contraction, phrenic nerve capture, and microbubbles which can be associated with traditional PFA, all while providing effective acute isolation. ...
For those patients who meet the criteria of having functional lungs and diaphragm muscle, as well as an intact phrenic nerve, they can be cleared for the device. It consists of surgically implanted electrodes and receivers with an external transmitter and antennas. ...
Top line safety results from the Company’s clinical studies showed that the severe complications of PV stenosis and both esophageal and phrenic nerve injury were absent in all patients. The FDA's conditional approval of the IDE allows FARAPULSE to finalize trial arrangements with the participating hospitals prior to patient enrollment, including ...
In comparison to radio frequency ablation procedures, PEF has the potential to improve the safety of cardiac ablation by reducing the unintentional conductive heating or cooling of extracardiac structures including the esophagus, phrenic nerve and airway. By limiting the therapeutic dose of PEF energy to the heart, full thickness transmural ablations are readily ...
The Lungpacer® System by Lungpacer Medical Inc., a Canadian medical device company, is a novel technology that stimulates the phrenic nerves during mechanical ventilation and thus strengthens the weakened diaphragm muscle to assist ...
