May 21, 2012 -- Boston Scientific Corp. announces results from the REPRISE I feasibility trial, which evaluated the acute safety of the Lotus Aortic Valve System in patients with severe aortic valve disease. The Lotus Aortic Valve System is the first transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) device of its kind that is designed to minimize aortic regurgitation (leaking) and is both fully repositionable and retrievable prior to release. Data presented at the annual EuroPCR Scientific Program in Paris demonstrated successful deployment of the valve in all patients with virtually no paravalvular regurgitation after valve placement or at discharge.

A new electromapping technique can better visualize the rotor (similar to the eye of a hurricane) around which atrial fibrillation electrical activity rotates. Using this map, the electrophysiologist can position an ablation catheter on the rotor center and see immediately results of the treatment. By using this targeted technique, in some cases a single ablation can terminate the AFib.
