Enhanced diagnostic precision for coronary sinus mapping and beyond
How it works
EPstar 2F Fixed Electrophysiology Catheter*
The 2F diagnostic microcatheter enables mapping and pacing in distal coronary sinus (CS) branches, which may be inaccessible to other catheters.
EPstar 6F Fixed Electrophysiology Catheter with Lumen†
The 6F diagnostic catheter is torquable with a large lumen, facilitating placement and telescoping of the 2F microcatheter in the coronary venous system.
Using the EPstar 2F Microcatheter*
Enable mapping and pacing in distal coronary venous system branches with the octapolar* 2F microcatheter for deeper diagnostic precision
2F mapping has been used for:
- Idiopathic ventricular tachycardias1,2
- Complex atrial tachycardias3,4
- Left Wolff-Parkinson-White5
- Mapping and pacing in vein of Marshall3,6
