Hygea Medical Technology Co. Ltd. has completed a series D funding round to develop an integrated platform for interventional oncology procedures and expand globally.
Few disease states in the world of cardiology have been studied as persistently as atrial fibrillation (AF), but new study data presented in Chicago at the 2022 scientific sessions of the American Heart Association seem to advance the cause of an ablation-first strategy for some patients experiencing paroxysmal AF. The PROGRESSIVE-AF study demonstrated that patients who are ablated early in the disease cycle are less likely than those placed on drug management to experience recurrence and to be readmitted, just two of several findings that are driving cardiologists toward device therapy and away from drug therapy for their patients with AF.
Argá Medtech SA said patients in the first stage of enrollment for a first-in-human clinical trial have been safely and effectively treated with an ablation system for treating atrial fibrillation (AF). The Coherent Sine Burst Electroporation (CSE) system uses a pulsed field ablation (PFA) sine waveform and single, configurable (circular, linear, and focal) ablation catheter to better treat patients suffering from AF.
Medtronic plc's cryoablation could soon put drug therapy on ice in parts of the atrial fibrillation (AF) market, based on results of studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and presented at the American Heart Association Scientific Sessions 2020.
Cryoablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is not the standard of care, but a recent study may change at least some clinicians’ thinking on that score.
Cryoablation technology firm Icecure Medical Ltd. raised $6 million (₪20.7 million) in an oversubscribed equity offering. The Caesarea, Israel-based company (TASE:ICCM) plans to use the funds for continued expansion of operations in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
