AngioDynamics has obtained an FDA green light for its NanoKnife prostate cancer ablation system, designed to precisely target and destroy tissue without delivering excess heat and the unintended ...

NEW ORLEANS, LA—Pulsed-field ablation with the PulseSelect system (Medtronic) appears to be a safe and effective way to achieve freedom from arrhythmias in patients with either paroxysmal or ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . A novel pulsed field ablation technology successfully treated most patients with paroxysmal AF. The rate of ...

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) proved a better first-line treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) than did antiarrhythmic drug therapy, with less recurrence and similar adverse event risk, the ...

Catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation, which delivers microsecond high-voltage electrical fields, may limit damage ...

In April, we reported on a study that raised alarms for safety issues with pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation. In this report, we follow up on subsequent developments for this technology.

Laser ablation is a process that uses high-energy laser pulses to precisely remove or vaporize materials from a solid surface. When the laser beam focuses on the target material, it absorbs the laser ...

Gigahertz femtosecond lasers are suited to enhance and regulate laser machining quality to engineer the physicochemical properties of materials. Materials scientists seek to understand the ...
