The procedure is usually done with the patient under local anaesthesia and sedation, although PVI can also be done under general anaesthesia according to patient or centre preference.

This equipment is needed for mapping and ablation procedures using the ThermoCool SmartTouch catheter: CARTO 3 system external reference patches (pack of 6): £595. Investigation only involves passive data collection on pressure impact and adhesiveness properties of ACL patches. Observe and characterize the changes in relative conductivity between the six ACL patches over period of six hours. COOLFLOW irrigation pump: £900, £1,600, £2,100. PLEASE READ THIS DOCUMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE CARTO® 3 SYSTEM. One specialist commentator stated that contact force is 1 of several variables that affect ablation delivery. This website also uses Open Source Software (OSS) provided by LiveChat to provide customer support. PVI catheter ablation is typically done under fluoroscopy guidance and therefore not recommended in people who are pregnant. Read our disclaimer for details.

Each single‑use ThermoCool SmartTouch costs £1,675 (uni‑directional) or £1,750 (bi‑directional). Please remove one or more studies before adding more.

One specialist commentator noted that real‑time dynamic contact force feedback during cardiac ablation procedures would enable operators to adjust catheter position, improve procedure efficacy and increase safety by avoiding the application of excessive force. CARTO 3 system external reference patches (pack of 6): £595. [ Time Frame: 6 hours ], BMI - half o the subjects 18-25 and half >25, No history of skin contact patch allergy, of any kind, Known skin allergies to patches, or dermatological conditions requiring therapy, Presence of any active skin lesion on chest or back, Any condition that preclude subject from lying down for six hours with minimal movement, Subjects with devices, such as pace makers, IC, loop recorder. Contraindications for use are similar to other cardiac ablation catheters, and include: cardiac surgery within previous 8 weeks; artificial heart valves; active systemic infection; use in coronary vasculature; myxoma (a heart tumour) or intracardiac thrombus (blot clot); trans‑septal atrial approach in patients with an interatrial baffle or patch; retrograde trans‑aortic approach in patients with aortic valve replacement; and use with an introducer sheath of less than 8.5 Fr. ThermoCool SmartTouch catheters require the CARTO 3 navigation system to visualise the contact force information. These are usually attached to the patient's chest, back and leg. Tip deflection is controlled at the proximal end by a thumb‑knob on the hand‑piece. The catheter is removed after treatment. All 4 specialist commentators highlighted that the degree of contact between tissue and catheter is critical in for successful pulmonary vein isolation. UPDATE_COMMAND ...
