AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing ablation procedures for cardiac arrhythmias lack confidence in creating effective lesions, often resulting in inconsistent and non-transmural ablations, particularly when isolating pulmonary veins, due to variations in tissue thickness and anatomical differences among patients.

Method used

A system utilizing numerical modeling and anatomical information to determine optimal ablation parameters, including energy delivery element positioning and energy levels, and providing real-time feedback to clinicians through a user interface, enhancing the accuracy and consistency of lesion creation.

Benefits of technology

Improves clinician confidence in creating effective lesions, reduces gaps in pulmonary vein isolation and non-PV lesions, and ensures consistent transmural ablations, leading to better patient outcomes.
