Key result
nMARQ ablation catheter for PVI is linked to potentially lethal complications.
Why the study?
What are the acute and long-term efficacy and safety outcomes of pulmonary vein isolation using the multipolar nMARQ ablation catheter?
What are the acute and long-term efficacy and safety outcomes of pulmonary vein isolation using the multipolar nMARQ ablation catheter?
This review summarizes the efficacy and safety of the nMARQ ablation catheter for pulmonary vein isolation, specifically focusing on potential lethal complications associated with the device.
Alerts to lethal complication risks with nMARQ; leaves open need for prospective safety trials before wider use.
was designed as a single-shot device with the aim to achieve these goals. This article reviews the current literature with respect to acute- and long- term success rates after PVI with this circular mapping and ablation device. Furthermore, since this device recently became discredited to potential lethal complications, we will also focus on the data available on safety issues with this ablation system.
