First published Friday, April 14, 2017 The University awarded a contract for visual guid Laser Pulmonary Vein Isolation Abla. to CardioFocus, Inc., Marlborough, MA, for an estimated $1,350,000. The CardioFocus HeartLight® Endoscopic Ablation System (EAS) is the only FDA approved device using laser energy to isolate the pulmonary veins (PV). Also unique to our system is a compliant balloon and direct tissue visualization via an endoscope to aid in lesion placement. Electrical isolation of the PV?s prevents premature atrial beats from being conducted to the left atrium and initiating AFib. The HeartLight® Endoscopic Ablation System is indicated for the treatment of drug refractory recurrent symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In drug refractory, paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), patients have tried and failed or not tolerated drug therapy where AFib begins suddenly and then stops on its own. Symptoms can be mild or severe. AFib stops within about a week, but usually in less than 24 hours. More than 25 percent of people with paroxysmal AFib will go on to develop persistent or chronic atrial fibrillation.
