First in-human experience with the exchangeless VersaCross Connect LAAC Access Solution
Eliminate six steps from your WATCHMAN FLX™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) Device procedures, compared to the standard needle-based workflow
Key takeaways
- Improved WATCHMAN FLX™ LAAC procedural efficiency by eliminating six steps from standard needle-based workflows
- Short overall procedure time: 31 minutes (± 6.3)
- Short interval between left atrial appendage access and device deployment: 12.2 minutes (± 1.9)
- Fewer sheath exchanges can reduce the risk of air embolism and perforation2
- LAAC was successful in 100% of patients, with no procedural complications*
Transseptal reimagined.
VersaCross Connect LAAC Access Solution simplifies LAAC procedures by connecting the VersaCross Connect Transseptal Dilator with WATCHMAN Access Sheaths† for zero exchange left heart access
