The Pulmonary Vein Ablation Catheter (PVAC) is a multi-electrode catheter used to map, ablate and verify isolation of the pulmonary veins.
Anatomic Catheter Design
Over-the-wire design facilitates navigation through the venous system, access to the pulmonary veins and stability during ablation
Symmetric, bidirectional steering aids the user’s ability to access all the pulmonary veins
Ten electrodes deployed on a nitinol frame allows the catheter to conform to all types of pulmonary vein anatomies and achieve maximal electrode tissue contact with low contact force
Unidirectional catheter deployment ensures that each thermocouple is located at the endocardial surface providing better temperature control to limit excessive heating
Map, Ablate And Verify Pulmonary Vein Isolation With A Single Catheter
Bipolar electrograms for identification of pulmonary vein potentials and the ability to pace and verify PV isolation
Ablate across all or selected electrode pairs, creating long contiguous or site specific lesions
