Abbott announces new data from its Volt CE Mark Study

Abbott (ABT) has announced new data from its Volt CE Mark Study that show strong safety and efficacy out to 12 months for patients receiving pulsed field ablation, PFA, therapy with the Volt PFA System for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The data also highlights the excellent safety profile of the Volt PFA System alongside the system’s ability to achieve results with fewer therapy applications than on-market competitive PFA systems. PFA therapy works differently from traditional cardiac ablation approaches by delivering high energy electrical pulses to targeted areas of cardiac tissue causing abnormal heart rhythms. Abbott designed its Volt CE Mark Study to assess the impact of the Volt PFA System in two different patient groups – people battling paroxysmal atrial fibrillation – episodes that come and go – as well as persistent AFib – episodes that last longer than seven days.
