Bold Solutions to Challenge AFib

Reinventing the Technology You Rely On Everyday

A solutions-based approach to innovation, Abbott’s EP portfolio is designed to improve your procedure experience. Our approach to technology helps physicians deliver better outcomes faster by focusing on three key factors:

Efficiency

Get In and Out of Your Lab in Less Time


Bold technology lets you treat more patients in less time. With Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter, Sensor Enabled™, procedure times are reduced by an average of 34 minutes versus CMCs1

HD Grid

Know You are Doing it Right the First Time

Efficiency is not just about reduction in procedure times. Bold technology should also promise less repeat procedures and high first pass success rates. Advisor™ HD Grid Mapping Catheter has shown a 14% reduction in redo procedures compared to CMCs1 and TactiFlex™ Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ has a first pass success rate of 80.5%.2

Reduction

Exposure to Radiation Matters

With no increase to procedure time, the use of our mapping system is associated with a considerable reduction in Fluoroscopy time3, radiation dosage, and laboratory staff radiation dosage. 4

Accuracy

Boldness in treating AFib requires technology that never sacrifices accuracy or efficiency. Abbott’s EP portfolio delivers both.

Cleaner Maps with Automatic Removal of Outliers

EnSite™ X Software Verson 2 provides a more accurate mapping experience by automatically removing outliers.

Accuracy

Accurate contact force matters during your ablation procedures. TactiCath™ Contact Force Catheter, Sensor Enabled™ has shown 6x greater accuracy in lateral orientation for contact force ablation than the competition.7,8

Patient Outcomes

Your end goal is for your patients to be well. Abbott’s focus on creating technologies that are efficient and accurate gives you the tools you need to boldly redefine patient outcomes and change your patients’ lives. Bold solutions to challenge AFib is –

Freeing Your Patients From Atrial Arrhythmias

Driving clinical success in Paroxysmal and Persistent AFib

  • Achieving an 82.2% clinical success rate for paroxysmal AFib at one year10
  • And a 90% symptomatic success rate at 15 months - using the TactiCath Ablation Catheter, Sensor Enabled10

Free Your Patients From the Use of OACS for Stroke Risk Reduction

With the Amplatzer™ Amulet™ Left Atrial Appendage Occluder (LAAO) you do both – not only delivering a 67% lower stroke rate, but also allowing 8 out of 10 patients to be discharged without OACs.13 Amplatzer Amulet LAAO is the only LAAO approved by the FDA that does not require use of OACs at discharge.
