Health network becomes first to offer latest technology
Community Health Network recently became the first site in Indiana to perform a procedure for atrial fibrillation incorporating the newest technology available called PolarX.
This innovative system is newly-approved technology designed to help patients battling certain types of atrial fibrillation (AFib). AFib occurs when the upper and lower chambers of the heart are not coordinating. This causes the heart to beat too quickly, too slowly, or irregularly.
The PolarX FIT Cryoablation Balloon Catheter is a unique device, the only one that offers two balloon sizes in one catheter. This capability allows physicians to address a wider range of pulmonary vein anatomies to better deliver treatment to areas of the heart where disruptive signals can cause AFib. This high-tech treatment can stop the signals leading to an irregular heartbeat.
