Field Medical said it plans to initiate first-in-human studies in early 2024, with results in the middle of the year.

Launching the company in 2022, cardiac electrophysiologist Dr Steven Mickelsen is known for founding Farapulse, a cardiac ablation company sold to Boston Scientific for $460m in 2021.

Dr Mickelsen’s new venture is developing a second-generation pulse field ablation system. Field Medical says its FieldBending technology aims to improve on first-generation pulse field ablation systems by increasing efficacy and reducing unintended consequences.

Catheter ablation is used to treat abnormal heart rhythms by blocking electrical pathways in the heart. Pulsed-field ablation is utilised for atrial fibrillation, but Field Medical plans to expand its use to ventricular arrhythmias, stating that applications outside of the left atrium remain mostly unexplored.
