IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Biosense Webster, Inc., a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTechi, announced 12-month results from the company-sponsored inspIRE study, "Predictors of Success for Pulmonary Vein Isolation with Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Using a Variable Loop Catheter with 3D Mapping Integration: Complete 12-month outcomes from inspIRE," presented as a late-breaking presentation at the 29th Annual International AF Symposium.1 Interim results from the company-sponsored admIRE study, titled "PFA Using a Variable Loop Circular Catheter with 3D Mapping Integration: Early Outcomes of the admIRE Study," were also shared in a late-breaking presentation.2

Key Points: 
  • The CARTO™ System enables an intuitive and reproducible workflow with real-time visualization and feedback mechanisms.
  • "Biosense Webster is committed to bringing forward a versatile, differentiated portfolio of PFA solutions designed to help electrophysiologists deliver safe, effective, and efficient cardiac ablation procedures," said Jasmina Brooks, President, Biosense Webster, Inc. "The encouraging outcomes from clinical trials with VARIPULSE™ fuel our excitement as we continue to deliver innovations to meet the diverse needs and ablation strategies required to successfully treat atrial fibrillation."
  • The inspIRE study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of the VARIPULSE™ Platform for the treatment of drug-refractory paroxysmal AFib in Europe and Canada.1 In the study, the primary effectiveness endpoint of acute pulmonary vein isolation and 12-month freedom from atrial arrhythmia recurrence (AFib, Atrial Tachycardia, or Atrial Flutter) was 75.6%.
  • Among participants receiving optimal PFA applications, 80% achieved the primary effectiveness endpoint.1 The study reported a low fluoroscopy time of 7.8 minutes, partly attributed to the integration of the VARIPULSE™ Platform to the CARTO™ 3 System.

IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Biosense Webster, Inc., a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech,i announced new findings from the Q-FFICIENCY study were published in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology demonstrating treatment with the QDOT MICRO™ Catheter significantly improved control of atrial fibrillation (AFib), relief of symptoms and overall quality of life.1

Key Points: 
  • The QDOT MICRO™ Catheter is a next-generation RF ablation catheter that incorporates advanced, high-energy ablation, improved temperature monitoring, optimized irrigation, and higher signal resolution.
  • In QMODE+™ setting, the catheter allows the delivery of very high-power, short-duration ablation – 90 watts for up to four seconds, significantly improving ablation efficiency.2 The QDOT MICRO™ Catheter is fully integrated with the CARTO® 3 System, enabling efficient and consistent lesion creation with a simplified workflow and lower total procedure time.2 Earlier this year, Biosense Webster announced the publication of the Q-FFICIENCY safety and 12-month efficacy data in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, which showed that the QDOT MICRO™ Catheter delivered high clinical success with 86% of patients experiencing freedom from symptomatic recurrence while catheter-related primary adverse events remained low at 1.8%.2
    "AFib places a substantial burden on patients' daily lives and healthcare resources, including physician visits, drug costs and side effects, and hospitalizations.
  • At Biosense Webster, we are focused on improving patient outcomes, while offering innovative solutions for physicians treating the growing number of AFib patients today," said Jasmina Brooks, President, Biosense Webster, Inc. "As the Q-FFICIENCY study findings demonstrate, use of the temperature-controlled QDOT MICRO™ Catheter allows physicians to customize treatment for each patient, reduce procedural times and offer significant benefits to patients through improving their quality of life."
  • AFib is the most common type of cardiac arrhythmia affecting an estimated 37.5 million people globally.3 Responsible for more than 450,000 hospitalizations and nearly 5 million physician visits in the U.S. annually, AFib places a heavy burden on patients, their caregivers and healthcare systems.4 Despite these projections, many people are unfamiliar with AFib symptoms, available treatment options and the importance of early treatment to avoid disease progression.5 Catheter ablation is a safe and effective procedure to restore the heart's incorrect electrical signals, which causes an abnormal heart rhythm.6
