Overview
Experts in electrophysiology will showcase the science and evidence behind the 4th generation Arctic Front Advance Pro™ cardiac cryoablation catheter and highlight the latest clinical evidence. The presenters will each draw on their clinical experience, for an in-depth discussion on improvements made in cryoballoon AF ablation and share practical advice to tailor the procedure to the individual patient.
The first Arctic Front™ cardiac cryoablation procedure took place in 2005, and since then, over 500,000 patients have been treated with the Arctic Front™ family of cardiac cryoablation catheters in over 1,600 centers worldwide.1 The efficiency benefits of this unique single-shot therapy are obvious and well documented in more than 800 peer-reviewed scientific articles. The results of the landmark FIRE AND ICE and CRYO4PERSISTENT AF trials highlight an important global shift to value-based healthcare, measured by the ability to standardize the index PVI procedure. The impact on patient outcomes as well as the economic value for the global healthcare systems is significant.
