New LockeT Data Accepted in Leading Electrophysiology Journal
FORT MILL, S.C., April 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catheter Precision, Inc. (NYSE:VTAK) ("VTAK" or the "Company") today announced that the manuscript titled "Safety and Efficacy of LockeT Suture Retention Device for Large-Bore Venous Access Closure" has been accepted by the Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology (JICE), a leading medical journal in the field of electrophysiology.
This publication confirmed the safety and efficacy of LockeT for large-bore venous closure in 139 patients and concluded that LockeT demonstrated high procedural success, rapid hemostasis, early ambulation, and low complication rates for venous closure following EP procedures requiring LBVA. These findings support LockeT as a feasible and effective venous closure strategy in contemporary EP practice.
David Jenkins, CEO of Catheter Precision, says, "This peer-reviewed validation from JICE reinforces our position that LockeT is a beneficial product for the physicians, patients and hospitals. The acceptance of study data in a prestigious medical journal underscores the importance of the data and enables Catheter Precision to continue its mission of product innovation."
Mr. Jenkins continued, "This additional publication on LockeT technology coupled with expanded hospital interest in both the US and Europe converges into our strategy of unlocking value in this product line."
Last week VTAK announced the engagement of a strategic advisor to assist in the company of exploring various options for its distinctive electrophysiology products.
