Pulse Biosciences Inc. presented late-breaking results from its successful first-in-human study of its nanosecond pulsed field ablation technology in treating atrial fibrillation at the 39th European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery Annual Meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Hayward, Calif.-based company’s Npulse cardiac surgical system takes PFA technology into the cardiac surgery setting.
The first economic modelling of Boston Scientific Corp.’s pulsed field ablation system in U.K.’s National Health Service showed that it is more cost-effective as a treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation compared to standard cryoablation.
Pulse Biosciences Inc. received U.S. FDA breakthrough device designation for its Cellfx cardiac surgery system with surgical clamp for ablation of atrial fibrillation. The Cellfx system uses nanosecond pulsed field ablation technology to deliver durable, continuous transmural ablation.
