🎉 Excited to share highlights from one of our very first cases with Tactiflex Duo for PVI

🌟First-pass PV isolation done safely, and in a similar pocedure time to single short PFA.

Cohort 3 of the ViewFlex X ICE First-in-Human study reflects what innovation should look like.

Continuous evolution with meaningful clinical impact.
With the updated EnSite X v6.1 software, we are seeing tangible workflow and imaging advancements:

1. Improved contour editing workflow
2. Auto geometry capture with continuous catheter rotation from both the right and left atrium
3. Automated structure labeling on snapshots
4. Pre–E-fields for voltage mapping, providing valuable guidance for catheter positioning prior to energy delivery

These enhancements are not just incremental, they represent a step forward in integrated mapping and PFA with real-time imaging synergy.

Proud to contribute to this work at @ARGJonesboro , & @StBernards , advancing imaging, integration, and the future of electrophysiology.

First-in-Nation: Integrating ViewFlex X SE ICE with VOLT PFA
This week started with a meaningful milestone at St. Bernards Healthcare (Jonesboro, AR) — first-in-nation combining Abbott’s ViewFlex X Sensor Enabled ICE with the VOLT PFA platform.
This builds on our prior experience with:
• FIH clinical trial use of ViewFlex X SE
• Post-FDA VOLT PFA cases as part of the VOLT LMR
What stood out was how well imaging + mapping + energy delivery functioned as one ecosystem in a zero fluoroscopy / zero contrast workflow .
Key takeaways
🔹 ICE integrated into EnSite X for real-time anatomic confirmation during PFA
🔹 Safe ICE-in-LA workflow and transseptal planning that reduced unnecessary manipulation in small LA anatomy. Integration helped support transseptal decision-making up front—optimizing trajectory and reducing unnecessary catheter manipulation in small LA anatomy.
🔹 Quick LA shell creation to confirm ridge/posterior wall/carina geometry early
🔹 Small atria lesion strategy: integration helped us decide tighter antral lesions vs intentionally addressing a posterior “critical isthmus” when the posterior corridor was inherently narrow
🔹 During VOLT delivery: very low microbubble visualization on ICE and no clinical hemolysis observed

VOLT workflow highlights: single-catheter mapping/pacing/ablation, impedance-based contact visualization, balloon-in-basket (8 splines), selective electrode delivery; PVI ± PVI+ as clinically indicated (GA used).

Grateful for the St. Bernards EP Lab team and the Abbott clinical support team.

Wow!

Dr. @PrashSanders presented VOLT-AF IDE Study 6-Month Results where #VoltPFA demonstrated:
- 93.1% effective in PAF
- 81.9% effective in PsAF
- Low adverse event rate
- Durable PVI

This is the Seth Meyers clip Donald Trump just had a meltdown over on Truth Social where Seth brutally mocks Trump’s insane rant about steam powered catapults. Trump REALLY doesn’t want people to see this so whatever you do please do NOT share this video!
