FARAPULSE™

Pulsed Field Ablation System*

Pulsed Field Ablation: A New Era in Cardiac Ablation

Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal energy source that has the potential to transform the cardiac ablation landscape. In this five-part micro-documentary series, four European physicians share their experiences with FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation and the FARAWAVE™ catheter. Through their insights, viewers will discover how PFA can positively impact clinical practice and enhance the atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation experience for patients.

Episode 1: Pioneering Tissue Selective Ablation

Interested in learning why cell selective energy delivery matters? In this episode Julian Chun, MD delves into the science behind irreversible electroporation and explains how FARAPULSE™ PFA energy delivery targets the cardiomyocyte, sparing the esophageal and endothelial cells. This cell selective energy delivery reduces typical thermal complications, making PFA a promising new chapter in EP.

Episode 2: Predictable Workflow

What about FARAPULSE™, and more specifically the FARAWAVE™ PFA catheter, leads to a highly predictable workflow and durable pulmonary vein isolation? Boris Schmidt, MD discusses how the purpose-built FARAWAVE catheter with an over-the-wire design is translating to rapid, reproducible, and predictable procedure times with a short operator learning curve.

Episode 3: Clinical Practice Impact

How does the FARAPULSE cell selective energy delivery with an optimized workflow and purpose-built catheter translate to clinical practice? Yuri Blaauw, MD discusses how FARAPULSE has changed his clinical practice and hospital workflow. The predictable procedure times with FARAPULSE™ PFA have allowed for treatment of more patients per day. Learn from him how this has also impacted his hospital capacity.

Episode 4: Patient Benefits

How has FARAPULSE transformed the ablation patient experience? Mattias Duytschaever, MD often gets asked by his patients ‘Doctor, did you treat me, I feel no pain?’ His patients being treated with FARAPULSE PFA often experience no chest discomfort post-procedure.

Episode 5: Promising Future

What does the future of FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field ablation hold? The series concludes with the physicians discussing the promise of soon-to-be-published data from a large randomized clinical trial and real-world experience, which could further validate PFA as an optimal energy source for cardiac ablation.
