2-French Electrophysiology Microcatheter Launches in Europe, Enabling Deeper Coronary Sinus Mapping
TORONTO, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Baylis Medical announced today the launch and first clinical case in Europe of the JLL 2-French electrophysiology microcatheter, performed by Dr. Thomas Deneke at Heart Center, Bad Neustadt, Germany. The launch enables physicians to reach previously inaccessible areas of the heart for procedure mapping, by making available the smallest diagnostic catheter in the European electrophysiology market.
The JLL electrophysiology catheter family includes a 2F microcatheter and a 6F guiding catheter which can be combined to allow deeper coronary sinus (CS) mapping. Deeper electrophysiological examination, including mapping, is often required to aid in the diagnosis of idiopathic ventricular tachycardias, complex atrial tachycardias, and left Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome. The 2F microcatheter also allows mapping and pacing in smaller anatomy such as the Vein of Marshall (VOM).
