ARTICLE SUMMARY:
Co-founded by a renowned heart surgeon, Adagio Medical reexamines the key success factors of cardiac ablation for atrial fibrillation and offers a solution for some of its most vexing challenges. Adagio's iCLAS system and OneShot+ catheter enable faster, more effective cryoablation than today’s balloon-assisted methods by using proprietary Near-Critical Nitrogen technology.
In the right atrium of the heart sits a cluster of cells called the sinus node responsible for producing the electrical impulse that begins each heartbeat. When the upper chambers of the heart receive chaotic signals from the sinus node, people experience atrial fibrillation, or AF, the most common type of arrhythmia.
