Abbott Medical Devices

This study tested a new system that uses electrical pulses to treat a common heart rhythm problem called paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal was to see if the procedure is safe and can stop AFib from coming back for at least 6 months. The study involved 150 adults wit…

This study looked at how safe and effective Abbott's Regent mechanical heart valve is for replacing a diseased aortic valve in 200 Chinese patients. The main goals were to see how many patients were free from valve-related death and needed no further valve surgery. The results he…

This study tested a device called the JETi system that uses water jets to break up and remove blood clots in the veins. It involved 121 adults with acute or subacute clots in their leg or pelvic veins. The main goals were to see how well the device cleared clots and to check for …

This study tested a device called the JETi system, which uses a special catheter to break up and remove blood clots in the veins and arteries of the arms and legs. Twelve adults in Hong Kong took part, and researchers checked how well the device cleared clots and monitored for se…

This study tested a new delivery system (Amplatzer Trevisio) used to implant devices that close holes in the heart. It involved 254 people with conditions like PFO or ASD. The system worked well, successfully deploying the devices, and safety was monitored for serious side effect…

This study tested a device called the Orbital Atherectomy System in 81 Japanese adults with hardened blockages in their leg arteries (peripheral artery disease). The device grinds away calcium buildup to restore blood flow, avoiding more invasive procedures. The goal was to see i…

This study tested a special balloon coated with the drug everolimus to treat blockages in the leg arteries. The balloon is inflated to open the artery and release the drug to help keep it from narrowing again. 75 people with blocked leg arteries took part. The goal was to see if …

This study tested a new system that uses targeted electrical pulses to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm problem. 392 people with symptomatic AFib that didn't improve with medication received the procedure. The goal was to see if the system is safe and can r…

This study tested a device called MitraClip in 51 people in China who have a leaky heart valve (mitral regurgitation). The device is placed through a tube in a vein, avoiding open-heart surgery, and aims to reduce the leak and improve symptoms. The main goals were to see if the d…

This study tested a device called MitraClip in 162 heart failure patients with a leaky mitral valve. The goal was to see if the device is safe and works well in everyday medical practice. Participants had severe symptoms despite standard treatments and had Medicare coverage. The …

This study tested two new heart valves (Portico and Navitor) in 30 Indian patients with severe aortic stenosis who were at high risk for surgery. The goal was to see if the valves were safe and worked well. Researchers tracked complications like death, stroke, and bleeding for up…

This study tested a special balloon coated with the drug everolimus to treat in-stent restenosis, a condition where a previously stented heart artery narrows again. Fifty-one adults with this condition received the balloon treatment to push the artery open and deliver medication …

This study followed 1,826 people who already needed a small heart monitor (Confirm Rx) to check for irregular heartbeats. Researchers collected real-world data over 12 months to see how safe and well the device worked. The goal was to confirm its performance and meet European req…

This study looked at 18 heart failure patients with a specific electrical issue called left bundle branch block. Researchers mapped the best spots in the heart to place a pacemaker lead to fix the electrical problem. The goal was to understand where pacing works best, not to test…

This study looked at whether wearable devices and digital surveys can help predict how well spinal cord stimulation works for chronic pain. 28 adults with long-term pain wore devices and answered surveys before and after getting a spinal cord stimulator implant. The goal was to s…

This study collected information from over 5,000 people who received Abbott heart rhythm devices during routine care. The goal was to see how safe and effective these devices are in real-world use, not just in controlled research settings. Researchers tracked serious side effects…
