Why It Matters

波士顿科学的FARAPULSE平台是用于治疗房颤的脉冲电场消融技术。FARAPOINT导管专门用于线性消融,以补充现有的肺静脉隔离工具。

上海,2026年11月7日——第九届中国国际进口博览会期间,波士顿科学举办“焕新于心房颤综合管理创新专场”,围绕房颤综合管理的政策趋势、临床实践与技术创新展开交流。现场,公司正式发布FARAPOINT一次性使用磁定位心脏脉冲电场消融导管,宣布该产品在中国内地上市。

FARAPOINT与指定消融仪及配用消融导管联合使用,可用于下腔静脉与三尖瓣之间的线性消融,以治疗药物难治性、症状性的持续性房颤。该产品的上市,为FARAPULSE脉冲电场消融(PFA)平台新增了线性消融工具,与用于肺静脉隔离和大面积消融的导管互为补充,为不同解剖部位和消融靶点提供更多工具选择。

此次新品发布之际,FARAPULSE平台在中国内地服务病患已突破2万例,迎来本土应用的重要里程碑。从临床应用经验的积累到消融工具的持续完善,波士顿科学正进一步丰富房颤消融解决方案。

部分房颤患者除接受肺静脉隔离外,还需根据具体情况,对三尖瓣峡部等解剖位置进行线性消融。这类操作需要沿局部解剖逐段形成连续的、透壁的消融线, FARAPOINT正是为线性消融设计的工具。

FARAPOINT采用四电极设计,四个电极均参与脉冲能量释放、均可起搏和感知,可根据导管与组织的贴靠方式形成点状或连续线状消融灶。电极的尺寸、形状和间距均针对PFA能量进行了优化,使脉冲电场均匀分布。研究数据显示,导管在不同贴靠角度下均可形成相近的损伤深度。

FARAPOINT采用PFA非热能量,无需灌注即可实现低热、快速的能量递送。同时导管内置磁定位传感器,可与OPAL HDx心脏电生理三维标测系统配合进行电生理标测、刺激及心腔内定位。

在FARAPULSE平台中,FARAWAVE系列主要用于肺静脉隔离等大面积消融场景,FARAPOINT则应用于线性消融场景。两类导管与FARASTAR脉冲消融仪、OPAL HDx三维标测系统及FARAVIEW软件模块配合,将脉冲电场消融、标测和导航整合在同一平台中。

自2024年7月获批上市以来,FARAWAVE脉冲消融导管已在国内多地开展临床应用;2026年1月在国内落地的FARAWAVE NAV则进一步将三维标测与消融可视化融入手术流程。

随着临床应用的增加,FARAPULSE的研究证据也在持续积累。截至2025年9月30日,FARAPULSE全球应用已超过50万例;MANIFEST-US、MANIFEST-17K、MANIFEST-PF等已发表临床研究累计覆盖患者超过7万例。

ADVANTAGE AF Phase2研究提供了FARAPOINT用于线性消融的临床数据: FARAPOINT消融时间约为5分钟,同时在360天时免于典型 AFL复发率为97.9%。这些结果显示,FARAPOINT在获得较高成功率的同时,可缩短线性消融时间。

房颤管理需兼顾节律控制与卒中预防。对于符合相应适应证的患者,导管消融与左心耳封堵可在同次手术中完成。围绕这两方面的临床需求,波士顿科学的FARAPULSE平台提供大面积及点线消融工具,支持二维及三维导航;WATCHMAN左心耳封堵技术则为符合适应证的患者提供卒中风险管理选择。目前,我国房颤“一站式”手术年手术量已突破万例,临床经验持续积累。

新技术的规范应用,也离不开专业培训。此次进博会论坛将“一站式”治疗作为重点议题,围绕患者选择、手术安全和诊疗流程展开讨论。近期也与西门子医疗共同上线的房颤疾病培训专区,首批推出30余门课程,涵盖术前影像评估、术中引导、介入手术教学、术后评价及科研前沿,围绕房颤诊疗系统介绍影像、消融、封堵与长期管理。

波士顿科学中国房颤解决方案事业部副总裁龚凌云表示:“我们认为,PFA领域的领导力,不仅体现在技术创新上,更体现在能否以扎实的临床证据和持续的专业支持,让创新真正服务于临床需求。FARAPOINT在中国上市,是我们持续完善房颤解决方案的重要一步。未来,我们将与中国临床同道深化合作,将全球应用经验与本土临床实践相结合,推动房颤诊疗从新技术的应用走向更系统、规范的综合管理,让创新的价值最终体现在患者获益上。”
