Embolic strokes were observed after pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation, indicating an embolic mechanism rather than atherothrombotic.
Ischemic stroke can occur after pulsed field ablation for atrial fibrillation, likely due to an embolic mechanism.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Ischemic stroke can occur after PFA despite its nonthermal mechanism. Multiple small infarcts suggest an embolic rather than an atherothrombotic etiology, which might be characteristic of cerebral infarctions associated with PFA. Further research is needed regarding ischemic stroke associated with PFA.
