Clinical highlights

November 2022, Dewland et al., published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology

Randomized comparison of a radiofrequency wire versus a radiofrequency needle system for transseptal puncture

RF wire-based transseptal workflow resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, with fewer exchanges for RF ablation, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.

25% faster

Time to first transseptal puncture with less variability in procedure time

32% faster

Total transseptal puncture time with the RF wire-based workflow

30% lower

Trend for overall fluoroscopy time compared to needle-based workflow


Publication summaries

October 2023, Knight et al., published in Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

In an ex vivo study, mechanical puncture using the FlexCath Cross™ (formerly known as AcQCross™) Transseptal Solution required more force and device advancement than purpose-built radiofrequency (RF) puncture with the VersaCross™ RF Transseptal Solution.


June 2023, Doshi et al., published in Structural Heart

When compared to a standard mechanical needle-based workflow, the VersaCross RF Wire-based workflow enabled faster TSP (transseptal puncture) and PASCAL™ Implant release,‡ with fewer exchanges required to streamline mitral transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (M-TEER) procedures.


January 2023, Whitler et al., published in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions

Transseptal puncture using the VersaCross Access Solution allowed for fewer device exchanges and lower fluoroscopy usage, leading to an overall more streamlined and efficient WATCHMANTM left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) procedure than with the standard NRGTM RF needle workflow.


November 2022, Dewland et al., published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology

RF wire-based transseptal workflow resulted in a faster time to transseptal puncture, with fewer exchanges for RF ablation, compared to an RF needle-based workflow.


February 2022, Demo et al., published in Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology

The VersaCross RF Transseptal Solution enabled fluoroless transseptal puncture in ablation procedures, with average transseptal puncture time under 20 minutes and zero exchanges required for transseptal puncture.


January 2021, Inohara et al., published in Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology

LAAC sheath delivery was two times faster using the VersaCross RF Transseptal Solution than the conventional workflow.


November 2020, Sayah et al., published in Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions

The VersaCross RF Transseptal Solution enabled MitraClip™ Guide delivery in under 7.5 minutes.
