During a Late-Breaking Session at the annual meeting of the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), Dr. Ennio C. L. Pisanò, Vito Fazzi Hospital, Lecce, Italy, unveiled groundbreaking clinical findings from the randomized, multicenter B3 study 1 regarding the impact of CLS on the incidence of Subclinical AF in SND patients. CLS is a unique rate-adaptive algorithm that is able to detect not only movement but emotional stress, physical stress, or physical activity. In essence, CLS is an impedance-based sensor that translates changes in cardiac contractility to increase heart rate –mimicking a

BIOTRONIK announced the CE approval and first European implant of its latest insertable cardiac monitor (ICM). The BIOMONITOR IV features artificial intelligence (AI) for false positive reduction. It is the only ICM on the market with premature ventricular and atrial contraction (PVC and PAC) discrimination capabilities, 1,2 as well as industry-leading signal quality and transmission success for highly reliable remote patient management. 3 False positive detections may take clinicians a considerable amount of time to review. That’s why BIOMONITOR IV features SmartECG, an intelligent system

BIOTRONIK has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation (BDD) from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the Freesolve™ below-the-knee resorbable magnesium scaffold (BTK RMS). The Freesolve BTK RMS is designed for individuals suffering from chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). CLTI is the most severe form of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), estimated to affect 11% of the 200 million people suffering from PAD globally. CLTI is associated with high rates of amputation and mortality as well as high care costs. 1 To qualify for a Breakthrough Device Designation, a device

Following the recent CE approval of the Solia S lead 1 for LBBAP, BIOTRONIK proudly announces the world’s first and only complete CSP system, now fully CE-approved for Left Bundle Branch Area Pacing (LBBAP). 2 The BIOTRONIK CSP system comprises three proven components: Selectra 3D catheters offering exceptional handling 3 , Solia S leads – the most popular choice of stylet-driven leads for LBBAP 4 providing enhanced stability 3 , and the Amvia pacemaker family , the first and only family approved for LBBAP. 2 Notably, this groundbreaking system is the world’s first and only approved MR

BIOTRONIK announces the CE approval and launch of Freesolve™ Resorbable Magnesium Scaffold (RMS). This third generation RMS has been engineered to provide optimized vessel support, yet achieves magnesium resorption within 12 months. 1 The new Freesolve RMS is a groundbreaking vascular advancement based on reliable clinical evidence. Recent BIOMAG-I trial data highlights an exceptional 99.3% magnesium strut degradation 12 months after implantation 2 , consistent performance, regardless of lesion characteristics, and restoration of vasomotion. 3 "Having closely observed the evolution of
