Exciting advancements in EP 3D anatomic imaging with ICE integration! Proud to share that @UCSDHealth recently achieved a First in Human milestone using the ViewFlex X SE catheter in a clinical study with @AbbottCardio for high-quality imaging. #EPeeps@TY_TACKacardia
Enjoyed assisting with some workflow and technology improvements in FIH trials of novel Viewflex X ICE catheter from @AbbottCardio -- we performed ablation of PVC from suspected intramural site with RF to septal RVOT and adjacent ASOV. Will be curious to see what @dhakalbish thinks with his @PennEPFellows based ICE approach in trials tomorrow. Contouring of key structures including pap muscles and ASOV shown below:

Monday started with First-in-Human Use of “ViewFlex X SE” ICE Catheter with @AbbottCardio
I've always loved using the ViewFlex ICE for its exceptional image quality, but now with seamless ICE integration into Ensite X, this is a total game-changer that enhances precision like never before.
Some features that stood out to me
🔹 ICE Integration with Grid and FAM Mapping - Real-time visualization that aligns perfectly with 3D GridX and FAM maps. This precision ensures more efficient targeting of critical anatomy, improving procedural accuracy.
🔹 Smooth Transition to the Left Atrium
Despite its softer shaft, the ViewFlex X SE provided excellent maneuverability and control, allowing smooth navigation to the left atrium while maintaining consistent imaging quality.
🔹 Maintaining Outstanding Image Quality
For those of us who’ve always trusted the ViewFlex ICE platform for its superior imaging, this new catheter doesn’t disappoint—it adds seamless integration without compromising clarity.

First burn termination of AVRT in <1 second with help from #HDGrid and OT Near Field.
AVRT and RV paced maps show clear breakout on the Mitral Valve. OT vectors & Peak Frequency overlay at 350Hz confirm site of termination.

Truly remarkable remote case support at HRS by Dr. Bernard, @Skhatib55, and our Abbott Remote Specialist team.
Really powerful demonstration of how #EnSiteConnect & @medinbox can transform the reach of EP.

ECMO patient referred to EP lab for VT storm. RV paced ILAM guided ablation strategy with #HDGrid helped target areas of late activation and isochronal crowding. Patient is off ECMO and discharged from hospital.

#EPeeps had a very fine day with #EnSiteX#HDGrid and #OT mapping slow pathway prior to #AVNRT ablation this week.
Observed nice slow junctionals with RFA at site of collision. Non-inducible post-ablation.

Omnipolar is game-changing for automated ILAM approach. New(L) vs. old(R) auto annotation display without any manual annotation. Yet another localized periaortic VT substrate from LMNA, with diastolic 🍽️ buffet during VT within sinus rhythm deceleration zone. @AbbottCardio
