Brussels, Belgium—Recently, the Belgium electrophysiologists use a full range of products including the Columbus 3D EP Navigation System (Columbus^TM), OptimAblate^TM Cardiac RF Generator, OptimAblate^TM Irrigation Pump, FireMagic^TM 3D Saline Irrigated RF Ablation Catheter, EasyFinder^TM Diagnostic Catheter, PathBuilder^TM Transseptal Guiding Introducer, and and accessories, which are independently developed by Shanghai MicroPort EP MedTech Co., Ltd. (“MicroPort EP”),This is the first 3D case for MicroPort EP in Belgian market. 

The team of Belgium electrophysiologists who performed the procedure gave full credit to Columbus^TM for its stable performance and user-friendly interface that facilitated the procedure. The clear and consistent signal enabled by the EasyFinder^TM catheter was also recognized by the surgical team.

The Columbus^TM System is primarily used for the diagnosis and treatment of complex arrhythmias. When compared with traditional catheter ablation under X-ray fluoroscopy, the Columbus^TM System allows for the incorporation of intracardiac electrical signals with spatial structures, helping the surgeon to better perform catheter ablation for complex arrhythmias, while significantly reducing X-ray exposure for surgeons and patients.

To date, over 20,000 procedures have been performed worldwide using Columbus^TM, and the products and services of MicroPort EP are available in more than 20 countries in Europe, Oceania, Africa, South America and Asia. Recently, MicroPort® EP had successfully entered into Brazil market, the team of local experts applied Columbus® and its ancillary catheter to successfully complete the 3D ablation cases.

Dr. Yiyong Sun, President of MicroPort EP, said, “As the population is aging across the world, the incidence of cardiac arrhythmias is also on the rise. In an effort to bring premium products and services to more patients with heart arrhythmia and doctors worldwide, MicroPort EP is speeding up its presence in the global market. In future, MicroPort EP will continue to focus on innovation and development, offering world-class total medical solutions for electrophysiological interventions so that more patients enjoy a healthy life. ”
