Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

Restoring life’s rhythm for more patients

If you’ve been diagnosed with AFib or AVNRT, catheter ablation may be an option. It could give you long-term relief and improve your quality of life.

Alert Important Safety Information

The Medtronic Arctic Front™ cryoablation system is the first and only ablation treatment approved by the FDA as a first treatment option for AFib, whether you’ve tried controlling it with antiarrythmic drugs or not. Make an informed decision by talking with a specialist about this safe, effective procedure.

Is cryoablation for you?

Managing AFib can be hard, and it’s important that you and your doctor choose the best therapy. You’ll want to find a provider, consider your coverage options, and learn what to expect with a cryoablation procedure.

The Medtronic PulseSelect™ pulsed field ablation (PFA) system was engineered with differentiated safety features from 15 years of research and backed by the results of one of the safest Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed AFib ablation trials to date.
