Venous Closure for EP Procedures: Workflow Efficiency and Patient Outcomes
This webinar was designed to highlight the benefits of using a venous vascular closure system for multiple stakeholders following electrophysiology (EP) procedures. Dr Andrea Natale (Austin, US), Dr Chistian-Hendrik Heeger (Asklepios Klinik Altona, Hamburg, Germany) Prof Claudio Tondo (Cardiac Arrhythmia Research Centre, Milan, IT) and Dr Marie Linhart (Jüdisches Krankenhaus Berlin, DE), moderated the session, which addressed several key areas: the existing clinical evidence supporting the system, identification of patients who would benefit the most, and its potential to enhance workflows in routine practice.
The session delivered a rich blend of evidence-based insights and real-world experiences aimed at optimising patient care and procedural efficiency. The webinar was specifically tailored for cardiologists, electrophysiologists, nurses, allied healthcare professionals, and fellows, offering them valuable knowledge to improve patient outcomes and streamline clinical processes.
Learning Objectives
- Summarise the clinical evidence supporting venous closure devices in improving procedural outcomes and reducing complications
- Identify patient populations that derive the greatest benefit from venous closure techniques
- Evaluate how these devices enhance workflow efficiency after electrophysiology procedures and post-procedure care based on real-world experience
Target Audience
- Cardiologists
- Electrophysiologists
- Nurses
- Allied Healthcare Professionals
- Fellows

Faculty Biographies
Andrea Natale
Executive Medical Director
Dr Natale is an American cardiologist and electrophysiologist known for his work in atrial fibrillation ablation. He was born in Syracuse, Italy and has been practising medicine in the United States and Italy for over 35 years.2 His father, a physician, was a strong influence in his decision to choose cardiology.3
He is known as the first electrophysiologist in the US to perform certain types of ablations to help patients with atrial fibrillation and unable to heal with traditional ablation methods.2 Dr Natale is proud of creating and expanding worldwide EPLive, which is a cutting edge, intensive meeting targeting practising electrophysiologists and fellows in training.4
He attributes his success to a healthy routine, starting his days very early regardless of the time zone. “After spending some time at the gym and having breakfast with my family, I spend several hours at the hospital visiting my patients and performing…
