“Nick mixes a calm and relaxed demeanor with a razor sharp strategic focus and result oriented personality. I had the pleasure of meeting him when he was just starting his Fellowship at Stanford's Biodesign, and then working with him for the entire time his company, Zenflow, was incubated at Stanford's premier accelerator StartX MED. No task is beneath him as he keeps his eyes on the target. He is always open to advice and feedback, brings his own style and personality to the decision making process and shows great intellectual honesty. He cares about the people he is working with and the culture he creates for the team as a leader. I am very glad to have been a part of his journey at StartX MED.”

A prospective multicenter trial of bipolar radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation: early results
Ann Thorac Surg.
The Cox-Maze III remains the gold standard for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation. However, the "cut-and-sew" technique is time consuming and technically challenging. The pulmonary veins are the source of ectopy in the majority of patients with atrial fibrillation. The safety and efficacy of bipolar radiofrequency to electrically isolate the pulmonary veins was evaluated in a prospective multi-center trial.

Successful performance of Cox-Maze procedure on beating heart using bipolar radiofrequency ablation: a feasibility study in animals
Ann Thorac Surg.
The Cox-Maze procedure is the gold standard for the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation with proven long-term efficacy. However, its application has been limited by its complexity and significant morbidity. The purpose of this study was to test the feasibility and safety of performing the Cox-Maze procedure using bipolar radiofrequency ablation on the beating heart without cardiopulmonary bypass.

A prospective, single-center clinical trial of a modified Cox maze procedure with bipolar radiofrequency ablation
J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg.
The Cox maze III procedure has excellent long-term efficacy in curing atrial fibrillation. It has not been widely practiced because it is technically challenging and requires prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass. The aim of this study was to examine a simplified Cox maze III procedure that uses bipolar radiofrequency energy as an ablative source.
