STUDY LED BY DR. M. ADNAN NADIR, 2023

VersaCross transseptal system for mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair with the PASCAL repair platform1

Faster transseptal puncture (TSP) and PASCAL™ Implant release

The VersaCross™ RF Wire-based workflow enabled faster TSP and faster time to first PASCAL Implant deployment, with fewer exchanges required to streamline mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) procedures, compared to a standard mechanical needle-based workflow.


Key takeaways

Achieved 2.2x faster TSP time

Observed 1.6x faster time to first PASCAL Implant release

More precise crossing achieved due to reduction of force needed to tent the septum prior to TSP 

Improved M-TEER procedural efficiency by reducing the number of wires and wire exchanges

Compared to a standard mechanical needle-based workflow, the RF wire-based transseptal workflow of the VersaCross Access Solution resulted in:

2.2x faster time from femoral access to TSP
