AccuPulse PFA System Achieves Successful Clinical Application in China: Dalian Medical University Second Affiliated Ruikang Cardiovascular Hospital Among First Nationwide to Perform Procedure

Recently,Rui Kang Cardiovascular Hospital, Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical UniversityAs one of the first clinical application units in China,Under the guidance of Professor Yin Xiaomeng,Associate Chief Physician Hu Na leads her teamApplication of AccuPulse by AccuPulse Medical^®Single-use Cardiac Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter and AccuBlator^®AccuPulse Medical Technology Co.Ltd's cardiac pulse electric field ablation instrument successfully performed a cardiac pulse electric field ablation (PFA) surgery on a patient with atrial fibrillation.

The patient in this surgery was a 63-year-old male with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Based on preoperative examinations, the AccuPulse adjustable 20-25mm circular diameter cardiac pulse ablation catheter was used for ablation. The total duration of the surgery was 81 minutes, with pulmonary vein isolation achieved in 15 minutes and a total discharge time of 8.75 seconds. The procedure went smoothly, successfully achieving 100% immediate pulmonary vein isolation. The patient recovered well post-surgery.

The operator gave a positive evaluation of the use of AccuPulse’s adjustable loop diameter cardiac pulse electric field ablation catheter, considering the catheter to be reliable in achieving ablation goals. The overall procedure went smoothly with a shorter ablation time and satisfactory ablation results. The operator noted that combining PFA with radiofrequency better leverages the advantages of both energy sources, successfully relieving patients’ pain. During the pulse ablation process, patients experienced less discomfort, and the operation time was significantly reduced. The catheter’s design can adapt to different anatomical structures, and for cases with larger atrial anteroposterior diameters, the adjustable loop demonstrated good applicability. In terms of operational experience, the processes of bending the catheter and adjusting the loop diameter were smooth overall, reflecting the catheter's comprehensive advantages in performance and handling.

Flexible Adaptation, Precise Contact:Its unique 7.5F adjustable loop diameter design can flexibly match the pulmonary vein anatomy of different patients, achieving personalized adaptation and significantly improving the adaptability and safety of the operation.

Intelligent docking, real-time feedback:The system is equipped with AccuPulse's self-developed impedance contact prompting technology, which can monitor the catheter-tissue contact quality in real time, clearly indicate the contact status, assist operators in achieving stable and reliable catheter manipulation, and provide a solid guarantee for precise ablation.

Efficient Integration, Streamlined Processes:The circular catheter integrates mapping, modeling, and ablation functions, rapidly constructing a three-dimensional electroanatomical model of the heart during surgery, accurately locating lesions, and significantly reducing the reliance on additional high-density mapping catheters in traditional surgeries. This not only decreases surgical complexity but also saves on consumable costs, providing atrial fibrillation patients with a safer, more effective, and less invasive treatment option.
