Silent cerebral lesion incidence was 12.90% with pulsed field ablation and 6.45% with radiofrequency ablation, with no significant difference between groups.
Does pulsed field ablation affect the incidence of silent cerebral lesions compared to radiofrequency catheter ablation in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation showed a numerically higher, though not statistically significant, incidence of silent cerebral lesions compared to radiofrequency ablation, highlighting the need for larger safety studies.
Tasa de eventos absoluta: 0% vs 0%
SCL incidence was 12.90% in the PFA group versus 6.45% in the RFCA group. While no statistically significant difference was detected between two groups, the numerically higher rate in the PFA group warrants larger studies to evaluate cerebral safety associated with PFA.
Ding et al. (Tue,) reported a other. Silent cerebral lesion incidence was 12.90% with pulsed field ablation and 6.45% with radiofrequency ablation, with no significant difference between groups.
