Faster Transseptal Puncture & Reduced Fluoro with a Dedicated RF Wire-Based Workflow for RF Ablation

Randomized Comparison of a Radiofrequency Wire Versus a Radiofrequency Needle System for Transseptal Puncture, study led by T. A.Dewland, MD, E. P. Gerstenfeld, MD, J. D. Moss, MD, A. C. Lee, MBBS, V. Vedantham MD, PhD, R. J. Lee, MD, PhD, Z. H. Tseng, MD, MAS, H. H. Hsia, MD, B. K. Lee, MD, MAS, G. C. Wall, BA, K. R. Chang, BS, M. H. Yang, BS, G. M. Marcus, MD, MAS

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.

Faster Transseptal Puncture Time with VersaCross™ RF Access Solution

The RF wire-based workflow resulted in 25% faster time to first transseptal puncture, with less variability in procedure time, compared to the needle-based workflow.

Faster Total Transseptal Puncture Time with VersaCross™ RF Access Solution

The RF wire-based workflow resulted in 32% faster total transseptal puncture time, with less variability in procedure time, compared to needle-based workflow.

Reduced Fluoroscopy Use with VersaCross™ RF Access Solution

The RF wire-based workflow resulted in a 30% lower trend for overall fluoroscopy time compared to needle-based workflow.

Fast track access-to-delivery with a single solution.






* A double transseptal puncture was used in 30 (83%) participants in the RF needle group and 35 (90%) in the RF wire group (P = 0.41), and the remaining participants underwent single transseptal puncture.
