Publication highlights
VersaCross Connect Access Solution for FARADRIVE
October 2025, Eckart et al., published in Heart Rhythm O2
Zero-exchange pulsed field ablation workflows facilitated by the VersaCross Connect Access Solution for FARADRIVE achieved 100% transseptal success with no transseptal-related complications, enabling more efficient and predictable left atrial access than workflows involving exchanges.
VersaCross Connect LAAC Access Solution
February 2026, Malek et al., published in JSCAI
Zero-exchange transseptal access using the VersaCross Connect LAAC Access Solution integrated directly into WATCHMAN FXD Curve™ or WATCHMAN TruSteer™ Access Systems enabled faster and more consistent time to initial WATCHMAN device deployment without compromising safety.
October 2024, Nair et al., published in Journal of the American College of Cardiology
Transseptal workflows facilitated by VersaCross Connect LAAC Access Solution achieved 100% transseptal success with no transseptal-related complications, and improved transseptal efficiency and consistency of WATCHMAN LAAC workflow without compromising patient safety.
November 2022, Perrin et al., published in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions
First in-human experience using the VersaCross Connect LAAC Access Solution for WATCHMAN FLX™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure Device implantation was successful in all patients with no procedural complications. VersaCross Connect improved procedural efficiency and saved six steps compared to the standard needle-based workflow.
