VersaCross Steerable Access Solution enables exchangeless access-to-delivery of left heart ablation devices, with high precision steering and consistent contact force

Clinical highlights

November 2022, study led by Dr. Dewland

Randomized comparison of a radiofrequency wire versus a radiofrequency needle system for transseptal puncture

RF wire-based transseptal workflow resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, with fewer exchanges for RF ablation, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.

25% faster

Time to first transseptal puncture with less variability in procedure time

32% faster

Total transseptal puncture time with the RF wire-based workflow

30% lower

Trend for overall fluoroscopy time compared to needle-based workflow
