AtriCure designs and manufactures innovative technologies for treatment of atrial fibrillation and related conditions. Epicardial ablation involves approaching the exterior surface of the left ventricle through percutaneous insertion of a catheter into the pericardial space from the distal end of the sternum.
AtriCure contacted Reback Biomedical Media to diagrammatically illustrate tissue layers surrounding the left ventricle in a posterior view. The purpose of the illustration is to facilitate communication between AtriCure device sales reps and clinicians specializing in an epicardial approach for treatment of atrial fibrillation.
