Challenge
Open-chest access Cost and time of EP-mapping myocardium in advance: Precise targeting on beating heart wall Need for elite-institution-level skills Capital investment & overall cost hurdle for new therapies |
Solution
Percutaneous, sub-xyphoid insertion: an EP lab procedure Mapping done in real time using same system that delivers therapy Riding heart surface eliminates relative motion Automated movement and movement planning shortens learning curve for clinicians Inexpensive capital equipment with multiple applications & economically priced disposables |
