The catheter combines pulsed field ablation (PFA) and radiofrequency (RF) energy in a single device, strengthening Abbott’s electrophysiology and cardiac-ablation portfolio. In the FlexPulse IDE study, 74.6% of patients remained free from documented arrhythmias at one year, while Abbott said its PFA portfolio has also received recent approvals in Europe, Asia and Latin America.
