First-in-Nation: Integrating ViewFlex X SE ICE with VOLT PFA This week started with a meaningful milestone at St. Bernards Healthcare (Jonesboro, AR) — first-in-nation combining Abbott’s ViewFlex X Sensor Enabled ICE with the VOLT PFA platform. This builds on our prior experience with: • FIH clinical trial use of ViewFlex X SE • Post-FDA VOLT PFA cases as part of the VOLT LMR What stood out was how well imaging mapping energy delivery functioned as one ecosystem in a zero fluoroscopy / zero contrast workflow . Key takeaways 🔹 ICE integrated into EnSite X for real-time anatomic confirmation during PFA 🔹 Safe ICE-in-LA workflow and transseptal planning that reduced unnecessary manipulation in small LA anatomy. Integration helped support transseptal decision-making up front—optimizing trajectory and reducing unnecessary catheter manipulation in small LA anatomy. 🔹 Quick LA shell creation to confirm ridge/posterior wall/carina geometry early 🔹 Small atria lesion strategy: integration helped us decide tighter antral lesions vs intentionally addressing a posterior “critical isthmus” when the posterior corridor was inherently narrow 🔹 During VOLT delivery: very low microbubble visualization on ICE and no clinical hemolysis observed VOLT workflow highlights: single-catheter mapping/pacing/ablation, impedance-based contact visualization, balloon-in-basket (8 splines), selective electrode delivery; PVI ± PVI as clinically indicated (GA used). Grateful for the St. Bernards EP Lab team and the Abbott clinical support team. #ViewFlexXSE #VOLTPFA #FirstInNation #ICE #EnSiteX #ZeroFluoro #ZeroContrast #EPWorkflow #Innovation #epeeps @StBernards | @ARGJonesboro I @AbbottNews I @AbbottCardio

Monday started with First-in-Human Use of “ViewFlex X SE” ICE Catheter with @AbbottCardio I've always loved using the ViewFlex ICE for its exceptional image quality, but now with seamless ICE integration into Ensite X, this is a total game-changer that enhances precision like never before. Some features that stood out to me 🔹 ICE Integration with Grid and FAM Mapping - Real-time visualization that aligns perfectly with 3D GridX and FAM maps. This precision ensures more efficient targeting of critical anatomy, improving procedural accuracy. 🔹 Smooth Transition to the Left Atrium Despite its softer shaft, the ViewFlex X SE provided excellent maneuverability and control, allowing smooth navigation to the left atrium while maintaining consistent imaging quality. 🔹 Maintaining Outstanding Image Quality For those of us who’ve always trusted the ViewFlex ICE platform for its superior imaging, this new catheter doesn’t disappoint—it adds seamless integration without compromising clarity. #3DMapping #PrecisionMedicine #ViewFlexXSE #Innovation #EPWorkflow @StBernards #epeeps #ArrhythmiaResearchGroup
