A fine needle, followed by a wire with a pre-loaded balloon was gently pushed into the left atrium and through the atrial septum to deflate the high pressures causing the atrium to distend with the blocked blood flow. Specifically, the defect is an incomplete closure of the atrial septum that results in the creation of a flap or a valve-like opening in the atrial septal wall. Jude Medical's unique AF Suppression(TM) algorithm significantly reduced atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with a history of AF and that even better results can be obtained with placement of the atrial lead in the low atrial septum. |
