The AtaCor EV Temporary Pacing System
AN INSIDE JOB
THAT’S OUTSIDE THE HEART.
First of its kind, the innovative AtaCor EV Temporary Pacing Lead System is advancing the standard of cardiac pacing. It is the only implantable temporary pacing system being designed to leave the heart and vascular system completely untouched—for prompt pacing support without the discomfort, risk, and limitations of traditional methods.
Extravascular. Extracardiac. Extraordinary.
Using a proprietary parasternal approach, the AtaCor EV Temporary Pacing Lead System advances a custom pacing lead into the extracardiac tissue between the ribs and pericardium. The extravascular lead location avoids risks specific to transvenous leads:
Temporary pacing beyond the cath lab
and beyond expectations.
TIMELY PROTECTION
WITHOUT THE DISCOMFORT.
EXTRAVASCULAR ACCESS FOR
REDUCED BEDREST RESTRICTIONS.
- Supports safe post-procedure patient ambulation
- Enables patient transfer to non-ICU bed for extended evaluation
- Reduces need for ICU observation and related nursing resources, decreasing cost-of-care
SIMPLIFYING PATIENT MANAGEMENT
DURING AND AFTER TAVI
TAVI procedures are on the rise—and expected to increase as the population ages and procedure indications expand to younger and healthier patients.1 The AtaCor EV Temporary Pacing Lead System is being designed to support stable extravascular and extracardiac pacing during valve deployment and postoperative evaluation for conduction disturbances, for streamlined TAVI patient management and recovery:
- Enables preoperative lead insertion which may shorten overall procedure length
- Connects to commercially-available external temporary pacemakers
- Eliminates transvenous pacing leads
- Reduces vascular access management and complications
- Enables safe post-procedure patient ambulation
- Eliminates bedrest restrictions, reducing ICU and related nursing costs
SIMPLIFYING PATIENT MANAGEMENT
AFTER MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
- Enables evaluation of conduction disturbances to determine the need for permanent pacing
- Enables safe post-procedure patient ambulation
- Eliminates bedrest restrictions, reducing ICU and related nursing costs
