“The HELIOSTAR™ catheter is an exciting addition to my set of tools for delivering customizable, efficient and effective cardiac ablations. I have performed more than 120 cases with this tool at my institution to date, with an average left atrial procedure time of 35 minutes,” said Prof. Tillman Dahme, Ulm University Medical Center – Department of Medicine II (Cardiology, Angiology, Pneumology, Critical Care Medicine), Germany.* “As AF prevalence continues to rise and impact more people in Europe and around the world, I am always looking for novel solutions like this to help me deliver better and more personalized treatments for my patients.”
In a multicenter single-arm study, SHINE, the HELIOSTAR™ Balloon Ablation Catheter was an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF)10 and isolated targeted pulmonary veins (PV) in 98.8% of patients without the need for focal touch-up.10,‡‡ Average time to isolation of each pulmonary vein was 9-12 seconds.10,§§ In addition, the RADIANCE study demonstrated 86% freedom from documented atrial arrhythmia at 12 months.15,*** In September 2021, the first post-approval procedures were successfully performed with the HELIOSTAR™ Balloon Ablation Catheter at sites across Europe.
