Carlsbad, N.M.-based Current Clinic completed the state’s first cardiac ablation procedures in an ASC.
The cases, performed Jan. 28-30, marked the launch of Current Clinic’s arrhythmia-focused care model, which integrates diagnosis, intervention and long-term management of atrial fibrillation in an outpatient setting, according to a Feb. 3 press release.
The clinic used Boston Scientific’s Farapulse system, which applies pulsed field ablation technology. The ASC serves as the flagship for a planned national network of arrhythmia centers.
Historically limited to hospitals, cardiac ablation procedures have rarely been available in rural or lower-cost settings. Current Clinic’s ASC-based model expands access to advanced cardiovascular care while lowering costs and maintaining clinical quality, according to the release.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
