FORT MILL, S.C., Nov. 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Catheter Precision, Inc. (VTAK - NYSE/American), a US based medical device company focused on developing technologically advanced products for the cardiac electrophysiology market today announced that the recent addition of key ablation procedures to ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid services (CMS) provides a unique and new opportunity to expand the commercialization of LockeT.

In a recent announcement by Heart Rhythm Advocates (HRA) it was stated that beginning January 1, 2026, CMS has added EP ablation codes to the ASC-Covered Procedures List (ASC-CPL). This change expands Medicare beneficiary access to EP services and represents one of the most significant federal advancements in how and where EP care is delivered in more than two decades and ensures full recognition of the equipment and resources required when performed in ASCs.

David Jenkins, CEO of Catheter Precision, said, “Historically, ambulatory surgery centers have been cost conscious and workflow oriented. ASCs do not have the capability to admit patients overnight and therefore want to obtain products that increase workflow efficiency to move patients to discharge quickly while ensuring that products are safe and cost effective. The LockeT suture retention device is not only cost effective, but aids in quick hemostasis enabling same day discharge. The announcement of the new CMS codes allows for additional patient scheduling and new facilities for LockeT to continue aiding physicians and patients in post-ablation recovery.”
