Faraview™ — a breakthrough in PFA navigation: real-time accuracy without fluoroscopy

Posted By: John Published: 07/07/2025 Times Read: 245

Faraview™ is the latest visualization innovation from Boston Scientific, designed specifically to enhance Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) procedures using the Farapulse™ system. It provides physicians with safe, intuitive, and fluoroscopy-free navigation, eliminating the need for contrast agents or complex integrations.

What is Faraview™?

Faraview™ is a real-time 3D visualization system that shows the precise position of the Farawave™ catheter within the left atrium, synchronized with the patient’s anatomical map.

It detects:

The exact shape and configuration of the catheter
Contact points with tissue
Anatomical positioning without angiography

Key Advantages of Faraview™

Fluoroscopy-free, contrast-free navigation: safer for patients and staff
Intuitive spatial orientation: instant visualization of the catheter’s location in the atrium
Integrated within the Farapulse™ ecosystem: no need for third-party platforms
Improved precision in energy delivery: better outcomes through accurate electrode placement

Map and Ablate with a single catheter

With the magnetically-tracked FARAWAVE NAV Pulsed Field Ablation Catheter, users can collect geometry, ablate, and confirm workflows limiting the need for additional mapping catheters or additional catheter exchanges.

Designed specifically for the unique shapes of the FARAWAVE NAV Catheter, FARAVIEW provides operators with valuable insights to assess spline distribution, petal deflection, flower bias and sheath location.

Automated FIELDTAG™ Technology. FARAVIEW is equipped with a first-of-its-kind tagging tool that allows users to intuitively visualise PFA delivery so they can plan, execute and confirm ablation to support efficient procedures.

Clinical Insights & Studies

Across clinical programs such as ADVENT and several European multicenter trials, Faraview™ has been shown to:

Shorten procedure times
Minimize or eliminate fluoroscopy use
Increase operator confidence, even on early use

Physicians highlight that Faraview™ flattens the learning curve and allows for more anatomically precise ablations. It empowers electrophysiologists with anatomically guided, radiation-free navigation. It sets a new standard for safe, efficient, and precise ablation.
