The CardioFocus Catheter promises rapid, effective and
permanent
isolation of the pulmonary veins while overcoming the
difficulties
inherent in the current RF ablation procedures. Guided via
integrated endoscopic visualization, the catheter helps
physicians
to accomplish ablation by projecting a series of overlapping
arcs
of both visible and infrared laser light upon the atrial wall
surrounding each vein. Complete isolation is generally
obtained
with several 60-second energy deliveries - promising a great
advantage in speed and precision in comparison to the large
number
of ablations required in current RF ablation procedures.
