Dr Melanie Gunawardene joins us to examine whether integrated mapping and ablation technology is ready to redefine how we approach atrial fibrillation ablation in the modern EP lab.The Sphere-9 catheter and Affera mapping system represent a significant step toward consolidating what has traditionally required multiple tools into a single-catheter workflow — combining high-density mapping with PFA… View more
