[Dr. Devi G Nair @Drdevignair]

Proud to share that we completed our first and some of the first cases in the nation post fda approval of the Abbott VOLT Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system at St. Bernards Medical Center in Jonesboro, Arkansas as part of the #VOLT LMR, following VOLT’s FDA approval in late December.

What stood out in our early experience:
- Zero fluoroscopy workflow in these cases
- PVI, with additional workflow as clinically needed
- Very low microbubble visualization on ICE, and no clinical hemolysis observed in any of our cases

We also appreciate the platform design elements that support efficiency and precision:
- Balloon-in-basket design (8 splines) that conforms to anatomy and supports targeted lesion sets 
- Real-time contact visualization (impedance-based) for lesion tracking 
- Single-catheter , zero exchange workflow enabling mapping, pacing, and ablation while minimizing catheter exchanges 
- The ability to customize energy delivery by selectively delivering from electrodes in good contact

Our cases were performed under general anesthesia, and it’s encouraging that PFA workflow characteristics may support future pathways that reduce reliance on GA in selected patients.

Huge thanks to our incredible St. Bernards EP Lab team and the outstanding clinical support team from @AbbottCardio. Teamwork made this LMR launch a success.

Peak frequencies (PFs) at MRAT termination sites are substantially higher than global atrial PFs, supporting the potential of PF mapping as an effective tool for identifying critical isthmuses in MRAT ablation procedures. https://t.co/FXN4O5U0Km #JACCCEP

Among patients with #AtrialFibrillation, elevated BMI, and 1 or more additional cardiometabolic risk factors, aggressive risk factor management reduced arrhythmia recurrence over the 12-month period after catheter ablation. https://t.co/2SBgFqTLei

First AF ablation in Brazil using the new Ensite X software 3.1.1 and Farapulse.
Now showing spline-to-tissue contact, perfectly correlated with ICE in LA.
A leap in precision & safety for #PFA #AFib ablation.

We started our first PFA -FP zero-floro cases using the EnSite Contact Index Module to assess electrode-to-tissue distance based on impedance. This is a complementary tool to evaluate contact during PFA that seems to optimize efficacy and efficiency

Contact feedback is no April fool’s joke!

Visualize spline-by-spline contact confirmation with Contact Index software on #EnSiteX. Gray splines denote lack of contact while blue shows contact with the tissue.

Watch as fine-tuning with #Agilis13F allows for full spline participation prior to delivery.

#ContactMatters

Provide EnSite to your PFA delivery strategy with #EnSiteX. Contact index software allows for tissue contact feedback with intuitive visualization on each spline.

How would #ContactIndex impact your PFA workflows, #EPeeps?
