The HeartLight X3 endoscopic system from CardioFocus delivers 980nm laser energy to the heart via an optical fiber and balloon catheter. The flexible balloon catheter is designed to be able to fit different pathologies. Laser energy is used to isolate pulmonary veins as a treatment for atrial fibrillation - persistent flutters caused by erratic electrical signals in a patient's heart. Photo: CardioFocus. |
