Dr. Timothy McClernon is a co-author with a prestigious panel of anesthesiology and electrophysiology physician experts on this seminal study.
Where typical medical guidelines require years and years to get published, this research was performed in less than 4 weeks using Xpert Mapping™.
The lead author recently shared (2019) that this publication, in less than a year, has shifted how physicians around the world perform anesthesia for this procedure. The new approach has been widely adopted. This made the procedure safer. Patients recover more quickly and easily and able to go home without spending the night in the hospital.
There was another, perhaps even more important, benefit for patients. Unexpectedly, we also learned how to dramatically reduce patients’ pain during recovery. Even though the device had been FDA approved and used for several years, implanters did not fully appreciate the extent of the pain patients were experiencing. Incorporating some simple, additional steps to reduce pain into the procedure now reduced the pain patients experience after the procedure by an estimated 50% or more.

“Positive outcomes for patients tops our list of priorities. There is no better proof of this than our .67% major adverse event rate this past year that we were able to achieve using People Architects’ methodology. Reducing the 6%+ rate we saw in our initial clinical studies to below 1% for the 30,000 physicians performing this procedure around the world today is something that we are most proud of being able to achieve.”
