The Medtronic Arctic Front Advance Cardiac Cryoablation Catheter is a balloon-based cryoablation device engineered for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) procedures. Built on Medtronic's CryoTechnology platform, it delivers refrigerant to the balloon to create a circumferential cryothermal lesion at the antrum of the pulmonary veins, supporting electrophysiologists in the management of atrial fibrillation.
Key Features
Balloon-based cryoablation design intended to facilitate single-shot pulmonary vein isolation.
Built on Medtronic's CryoTechnology platform for cryothermal energy delivery.
Over-the-wire compatible design for use with a steerable sheath during left atrial access.
Tip and balloon configuration intended to support uniform contact at the pulmonary vein antrum.
Compatible with Medtronic's CryoConsole and associated cryoablation system components.
Clinical Applications
Pulmonary vein isolation as part of catheter ablation strategies for atrial fibrillation.
Use in adult electrophysiology procedures performed in a cardiac catheterization or EP laboratory.
Intended for use by trained electrophysiologists familiar with cryoablation techniques.
Refer to the manufacturer's Instructions for Use for indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
