FDA approved Abbott’s dual-energy AFib catheter. Can procedural flexibility beat single-energy simplicity?

Abbott Laboratories has received FDA approval for TactiFlex Duo, a focal ablation catheter capable of delivering both pulsed-field and radiofrequency energy. The system enters a rapidly expanding pulsed-field ablation market with a different proposition: instead of replacing thermal ablation entirely, it lets electrophysiologists choose between energy types during the same procedure.

Abbott wins FDA approval for dual-energy TactiFlex Duo. Does AFib ablation need two tools in one?

Abbott’s TactiFlex Duo combines pulsed field ablation and radiofrequency energy in one contact-force catheter, giving electrophysiologists a way to move between tissue-selective PFA and conventional thermal ablation without changing platforms during an AFib procedure.
