Abbott Medical Devices

This study tested a device called JETi that uses water jets to break up and remove blood clots in the veins of the legs or pelvis. It included 121 adults with acute or subacute clots. The main goal was to see how well the device cleared clots and how safe it was, tracking problem…

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, valve function, and quality of life fo…

This study looked at 200 people in China who needed a new aortic heart valve. Researchers wanted to make sure Abbott's Regent mechanical heart valve works safely and well. They tracked how many patients had valve-related deaths or needed another surgery. The goal was to confirm t…

This study tested a new system that uses pulsed energy to fix faulty electrical signals in the heart, aiming to stop episodes of atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). 392 adults with symptomatic AF that didn't improve with medication took part. The approach focuses on con…

This study tested a new type of pacemaker that doesn't need wires (leads) to control slow heartbeats. Over 1,200 people took part to see if the device was safe and worked well. The main goal was to check for serious problems and make sure the pacemaker kept the heart beating prop…

This study looked at a device called the JETi system that helps remove blood clots from veins and arteries in the arms or legs. It involved 12 adults in Hong Kong who had acute or subacute clots. The main goal was to see how well the device cleared clots and if it caused serious …

This study tested a new device that uses electrical pulses to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib), a condition where the heart beats irregularly. 150 adults with symptomatic AFib received the procedure. The main goals were to see if the treatment is safe and if it prevent…

This study tested the MitraClip device, a less invasive option to repair a leaky heart valve (mitral regurgitation) without open-heart surgery. It involved 51 adults in China who received the clip to reduce valve leakage. The goal was to see if the procedure safely improves sympt…

This study tested a special balloon coated with the drug everolimus to treat in-stent restenosis, a condition where a previously placed heart stent becomes narrowed again. Fifty-one adults with this condition received the balloon treatment during a heart procedure. The goal was t…

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 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 looked at 18 heart failure patients with a specific electrical issue called left bundle branch block. Researchers mapped where to place a pacemaker lead to better coordinate heartbeats. The goal was to understand the best pacing spots and see if this approach improves …

This study followed 1826 people who already needed a small heart monitor (Confirm Rx) to check for irregular heartbeats. Over 12 months, researchers collected real-world data to see how safe and well the device worked. The goal was to confirm its performance outside of a controll…

This study tested how well a new implantable heart monitor (Assert-IQ) detects atrial fibrillation in 151 people who had a heart procedure called ablation. Participants already had the monitor as part of their regular care. The goal was to see if the monitor's detection matches s…

This study gathered information on the safety and performance of Abbott heart rhythm devices used in everyday medical practice. Over 5,000 people with heart rhythm disorders took part. The goal was to see how well the devices work and how often serious side effects happen shortly…

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…
