New Study Reports That Ablative Therapy With HALO360 Device Effectively Treats Highest-Risk Category of Barrett's Esophagus
Date:5/15/2008

n esophagectomy, which has historically represented the standard of care for patients with high grade dysplasia." An esophagectomy is surgical removal of the entire esophagus.

This study was conducted prior to availability of the HALO90 Ablation System, an adjunctive device that is utilized to treat small areas of residual disease after the initial therapy. In the largest study conducted with these devices working together, 98.4 percent of patients had complete elimination of all Barrett's tissue at 2.5 years of follow-up from initial therapy.

Recent studies have shown a significant further increase in response to therapy when combining the HALO360 and HALO90 modalities in a step-wise manner.

About the HALO Ablation System

The HALO System consists of the HALO360 Ablation Catheter which can treat precancerous Barrett's tissue in a 360 degree circumference, and the HALO90 Ablation Catheter which can be used to treat small areas of Barrett's tissue.

Both devices provide uniform and controlled heat therapy which remove the thin layer of diseased tissue and allow the regrowth of normal cells without undue injury to normal underlying tissue.

Treatment is performed without incisions using an endoscopic approach with the patient under conscious sedation. Most procedures are performed in an out-patient setting. Since HALO360 received FDA clearance in 2005 and HALO90 received clearance in 2006, more than 220 U.S. hospitals have incorporated the use of this device.
