We’re excited to announce that we recently completed Atrial Fibrillation ( ) procedures using the Medtronic Affera Mapping and Ablation System—and the results are nothing short of extraordinary.

Why it matters:
Faster procedures: Streamlined technology and workflow help reduce procedure time, allowing for greater efficiency and smoother experience for both patients and care teams.
Greater precision: The Sphere-9™ catheter’s lattice tip enables high-density mapping and targeted ablation, reducing risk to surrounding tissues like the esophagus and nerves.
Minimally invasive: A single transseptal puncture and integrated workflow mean less trauma, less equipment changes and faster recovery.

AFib affects over 6 million Americans, increasing stroke risk by up to 5x. This new technology is helping us deliver safer, faster and more effective care—and we’re proud to be leading the way in cardiac innovation.
