CHALLENGING CASE
TCT 2019 Live Case with Dr. William Gray
See VersaCross® RF Transseptal Solution in action with Dr. William Gray's challenging MitraClip™ case at Main Line Health.
The new VersaCross® RF Transseptal Solution is an RF-wire based platform that allows you to fast track access-to-delivery with a single, exchangeless solution.* Watch here as Dr. Gray navigates the VersaCross® RF wire around complex venous structures to start at the SVC, crosses the septum with RF puncture technology, and instantly deploys his pigtail wire without the need for exchanges.†
Dr. Gray also highlights the first-ever shapeable, snap-fit dilator to optimize transseptal location. This TruForm™ Shapeable Technology allows for true-to-form curve retention to optimize trajectory onto the fossa and ensures a rotational lock between dilator and sheath to maintain curve alignment.
