STUDY LED BY DR. JACQUELINE SAW, 2021

VersaCross radiofrequency system reduces time to left atrial access versus conventional mechanical needle1

Left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) sheath delivery 2x faster*

In a retrospective comparison, the use of the exchangeless VersaCross™ Access Solution reduced time to LAAC sheath delivery compared to a mechanical needle.


Key takeaways

Achieved transseptal access and WATCHMAN™ or Amulet™ sheath delivery in under 7 mins

Enabled faster left atrial access with 3-in-1 solution by combining a starter wire, radiofrequency (RF) transseptal device and exchange rail​

Controlled RF puncture with a single wire

Faster time to LAAC sheath delivery*

In this retrospective comparison, the use of VersaCross Access Solution for transseptal access resulted in a faster LAAC sheath delivery, from femoral to left atrium (LA) access of 6.7 minutes compared to 13.4 minutes using a conventional mechanical needle.
