MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and AMSTERDAM, Aug. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Boston Scientific Corporation (NYSE: BSX) today announced positive 12-month results from the pivotal ADVENT clinical trial of the FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) System*, a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablate heart tissue in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The study is the first randomized clinical trial to directly compare the efficacy and safety of the FARAPULSE PFA System against standard-of-care ablation – either radiofrequency or cryoablation – for the treatment of patients with paroxysmal, or intermittent, AF. Findings were presented at ESC Congress 2023, the annual meeting of the European Society of Cardiology, and simultaneously published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
