Overview
We invite you to join the second session of the #VoltPFA Webinar Series alongside Prof Helmut Pürerfellner (Elisabethinen Hospital, AT), Prof Gerhard Hindricks (Heart Centre Leipzig, DE), Dr Atul Verma (McGill University Health Centre, CA), Prof Daniel Steven (University Hospital Cologne, DE) and Prof Gian-Battista Chierchia (Heart Rhythm Management Centre, BE). This webinar series is intended to mark educational initiatives focused on integrating clinical relevance and operational efficiency pertaining to the Volt™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system.
In this second webinar, the programme opens with a welcome and introduction from Prof Pürerfellner and Prof Hindricks. The highlighted faculty will then examine progress in lesion durability and the role of contact-based, single-catheter workflows in improving procedural efficiency. Further insight will explore how system versatility supports ablation across a wide spectrum of anatomical targets.
Volt is aimed at electrophysiologists and ablation teams. Therefore, this session will blend clinical data with early user observations incorporating design and workflow optimisation strategies, thus providing participants an all-encompassing explanation of the Volt system’s contribution to redefining ease and efficacy in atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation as well as primary simplification in control.
This session will be concluded by faculty sharing their experiences in the panel discussion. Seasoned participants will analyse the pertinent procedural questions that influence adoption and optimisation of procedural performance.
