Designed for controlled tissue puncture using radiofrequency energy
Clinical highlights
November 2022, study led by Dr. Dewland, published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
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.
Publication summaries
October 2023, Berggren et al., published in Indian Pacing and Electrophysiology Journal
In atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, utilization of the VersaCross Steerable Sheath and pigtail RF wire for transseptal puncture and RF ablation reduced the number of device exchanges, leading to improved procedural efficiency compared to the standard workflow (puncture using an NRG™ RF needle and 8.5F sheath, followed by exchange for an Agilis™ NXT steerable sheath).
November 2022, Dewland et al., published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
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.
December 2021, Hiner et al., published in Journal of Innovations in Cardiac Rhythm Management
This single-center retrospective analysis of catheter stability evaluated contact force consistency during radiofrequency ablation using two different steerable sheaths.
White papers
September 2018
This study compared handling precision, steering response, and neutral zone consistency.
November 2017
This study compared sheath-to-dilator transition and crossing force.
November 2017
This study compared sheath tip contact force, retention of curve range-of-motion (ROM), durability, and resistance to failure.
Note: The SureFlex Steerable Guiding Sheath cited in these studies utilizes the same technology as the VersaCross Steerable Sheath.
