Johnson & Johnson reported the first real-world data for its VARIPULSE Pro pulsed field ablation platform, showing 100% acute procedural success, a 0.4% primary adverse event rate, and a 17.9-minute mean ablation time across 225 patients at 19 European centers. Twelve-month Omny-IRE results for the investigational OMNYPULSE Platform showed 82.5% of 136 paroxysmal AF patients free from documented atrial arrhythmia recurrence under stringent monitoring, with all safety events resolved. A new Premier Database analysis also associated J&J's CARTO 3 mapping system with 31% lower risk of AF-related readmissions versus the competing EnSite system.
