Overview

For short, concise coverage of the key data revealed, our accessible Expert Interviews were conducted with select faculty, focussing on the results, applicability and impact on future research and clinical practice. 

About the episode

EHRA 24 - We interview Dr Vivek Reddy (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, US) on a first-in-human clinical trial of a novel conformable "single-shot" pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI).

This single arm trial aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of PVI using an 8Fr PFA catheter (SpherePVI, Affera Inc) in 30 patients across three centers.

Interview Questions:

  1. What are the unmet needs in PFA in 2024?
  2. Could you tell us more about the single shot catheter used in this trial?
  3. What was the study design and patient population?
  4. What were the key findings?
  5. What are the next steps?

Recorded on-site at EHRA in Berlin, 2024.

Support: This is an independent interview conducted by Radcliffe Cardiology.

Vivek Reddy

Director of Cardiac Arrhythmia Services

Dr Vivek Y. Reddy is Director of Cardiac Arrhythmia Services for The Mount Sinai Hospital and Director of Electrophysiology for the Mount Sinai Health System, and The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust Professor of Medicine in Cardiac Electrophysiology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

Dr Reddy is one of the US's premier cardiac electrophysiologists. He leads a team of physician-scientists who are developing and testing advanced therapies for cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure, including catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia, and device therapies for stroke prevention. Under his leadership, Mount Sinai is the lead investigational site for many multinational clinical trials exploring new arrhythmia procedures and technologies, most recently pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation. Moreover, in 2014, he implanted the world’s first miniature leadless pacemaker, as well as the first leadless pacemaker in…
