When medication is no longer successful, physicians often consider a minimally invasive catheter ablation. The novel HeartLight? Endoscopic Ablation System for catheter ablation incorporates an endoscope to provide physicians with the capacity to see within the heart, and for the first time, visually direct the application of laser energy to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation. Research presented at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2012, in Munich, indicates that this balloon technology from CardioFocus, Inc. resulted in improved long-term outcomes after a single procedure as compared with the cryothermal balloon catheter.
