Pulmonary vein implants for atrial fibrillation

Executive Summary
Traditional ablation for treating atrial fibrillation involves disconnecting the electrical pathway that causes the abnormal rhythm, and the procedure can take anywhere from two to four hours, thus limiting the number of cases a cath lab can handle each day. The self-expanding pulmonary vein implant in development at Flux Medical NV is easy to insert inside the vein and should make the procedure much shorter, allowing a cath lab to schedule up to six to eight cases a day.
