FARAPOINT™ Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter

FARAPOINT™ Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter

The FARAPOINT™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Catheter  is designed to add focal precision to the FARAPULSE™ PFA Platform, providing electrophysiologists with a nav-enabled PFA catheter solution to create both focal and linear-shaped lesions in one tool.

How it works

The FARAPOINT PFA Catheter is designed to deliver durable focal and linear-shaped lesions with an efficient 2.5 second application time per ablation. Full integration with the FARAVIEW™ Software Module on the OPAL HDx™ Mapping System provides reliable catheter and lesion visualisation required for confident PFA delivery.

CAUTION: FARAPOINTTM is not currently commercially available in Australia and New Zealand.

ADVANTAGE AF trial: Phase II CTI cohort results

The ADVANTAGE AF trial1 studied patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF) who were treated using pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and posterior wall ablation (PWA) with the FARAWAVE™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) Catheter. The trial included adjunctive ablation of the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI) to treat typical atrial flutter (AFL).

The trial enrolled 637 patients in two phases and allowed for a comparison of CTI ablation methods:

  • Phase I (n=50): CTI ablation was performed using traditional radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
  • Phase II (n=141): CTI ablation was performed using the focal FARAPOINT PFA Catheter

A prophylactic nitroglycerin (NTG) protocol was implemented to reduce the risk of coronary artery spasm during FARAPOINT CTI procedures.
