Introducing the Convergent Procedure!

Combining the best techniques of Cardiovascular Surgeons & Electrophysiologists to develop a new standard of care by utilizing a combined approach to treat all types of atrial fibrillation (AF). The convergent procedure offers a truly minimally-invasive solution with no chest incisions or ports and is performed on a beating heart to potentially deliver superior patient outcomes and short hospital stays.

Why was the convergent procedure developed?

Individual catheter and surgical approaches have limited success for a narrow patient subset of the AF population. However, by combining nContact's epicardial ablation technology and endoscopic access advantages with EP endocardial ablation and mapping and diagnostic capabilities, a new treatment alternative with measureable intra-operative diagnostic endpoints may ensure better outcomes on a broader population.
