Faster transseptal puncture and reduced fluoroscopy
The VersaCross™ radiofrequency (RF) wire-based transseptal workflow for RF ablation resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.
Key takeaways
Achieved 25% faster time to first transseptal puncture (TSP)
Achieved 32% faster total TSP time
Observed 30% lower trend for overall fluoroscopy time
25% faster time to first TSP, with less variability in procedure time
32% faster total TSP time, with less variability in procedure time*
30% lower trend for overall fluoroscopy time*
Transseptal reimagined.

* A double transseptal puncture was used in 30 (83%) participants in the RF needle group and 35 (90%) in the RF wire group (P = 0.41), and the remaining participants underwent single transseptal puncture.
