Exploring Procedural Efficiency and Efficacy in the Context of Esophageal Safety and Understanding Venous Vascular Closure for Early Ambulation

Intended Audience: Physicians, Allied Professionals, Physician Trainees

Attend this insightful session exploring proactive esophageal cooling in RF ablation procedures, showcased through Attune Medical’s innovative ensoETM device. This session will cover all you need to know about the latest FDA-granted device in esophageal cooling during left atrial ablation, including the latest clinical data on safety, efficacy, efficiency, and zero-fluoroscopy usage that may enhance lab throughput. Learn from your colleagues how they have integrated this novel tool into their practice, and how they demonstrated to their administrators that the use of the device may reduce the likelihood of ablation-related esophageal injury and may impact overall cost savings, creating the potential to improve hospital margins. Get hands-on time with the technology, understand the physics behind it, and appreciate how easy it is for your anesthesiology colleagues to manage.

You will also learn more about early ambulation for venous vascular closure using the VASCADE MVP system, which utilizes a resorbable thrombogenic collagen plug to achieve rapid hemostasis following EP procedures. The VASCADE MVP system is used with 6F-12F inner diameter (maximum 15F outer diameter) procedural sheaths for use in RF ablation, cryoablation and left atrial appendage closure.
