Yesterday, we performed our 1500th Watchman implant @KUHospital, one of the few sites in the country, to reach this milestone. We were able to achieve this with excellent outcomes. I am really proud of the team for its commitment to patient care and quality. @prasadchan@AmitNoheria@rheapimentel3@KUCVM
Happy to have performed the 1st commercial case with FaraPulse PFA system in this part of the country.
Very excited to have the technology available here at @KUHospital to care for our patients more safely, efficiently and effectively. It is definitely an exciting time in EP!0
FWIW, the US has about 1,100 people for every primary care physician
in context, we have
22,000 for every oncologist
33,000 people for every ID doc
57,000 for every neurosurgeon
80,000 people for every vascular surgeon

Happy to have early access to OPTREL. Used for Ventricular and Atrial cases. Great maps. Local activation vectors are very helpful.
Looking forward to making it the go to catheter, especially for VT. @SethHSheldon@rheapimentel3 @BiosenseWebster @jskoruth@gautamsand@Drdevignair
