Before being used with patients, the Volt PFA System underwent extensive laboratory testing. Following this, the Volt CE Mark Study was the first clinical research study to investigate the Volt PFA System's safety and performance in treating human patients. The purpose of this study was to gather data demonstrating that the Volt PFA System functions as intended in a clinical setting and to establish its safety and effectiveness for treating atrial fibrillation.
VOLT CE Mark Study: Long-term safety and effectiveness of de novo PVI in treating AF.
Protocol required PVI only left atrial ablation with the Volt™ PFA System
94.5% freedom from repeat ablation (5.5%, n=138/146)
90.0% of veins were durably isolated in repeat ablations after the blanking period
58.1% of PersAF (n=43) subjects free from documented AF/AFL/AT recurrence at 12-months1
Subjects under conscious sedation (CS) and deep sedation (DS) workflows experienced acute effectiveness with no significant difference in safety when compared to general anesthesia (GA) procedures.2,3
In multiple analyses, no clinically relevant hemolysis was observed, and biomarkers did not exhibit statistically significant change4-6
In the Volt CE Mark feasibility sub-study, acute effectiveness was achieved in 99.2% (127/128) of treated PVs (96.9% of subjects, 31/32) with 23.8 ± 4.2 PFA applications/subject. No esophegeal lesions causally related to Volt™ PFA System.
This clinical research study is intended to demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Volt™ PFA System for the treatment of symptomatic, recurrent, drug-refractory paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation.
2024 Manuscript Assessing PFA Design Considerations
Comparison of efficiency of PFA catheter designs by computer modeling. Computer models demonstrate a wide range in efficiency among PFA catheters. Form factors such as exposure of PFA electrodes to blood pool significantly influence efficiency. Higher efficiency designs, such as balloon-based designs, have less collateral current.
