Pulsed field ablation is a novel non-thermal energy modality for the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias that limits collateral damage to surrounding structures.
This review summarizes the mechanisms, safety, efficacy, and clinical applications of pulsed field ablation for managing atrial and ventricular arrhythmias.
One of the recent advancements in the field of cardiac electrophysiology is pulsed field ablation (PFA). PFA is a novel energy modality that does not rely on thermal processes to achieve ablation which, in turn, results in limited collateral damage to surrounding structures. In this review, we discuss the mechanisms, safety, efficacy, and clinical applications of PFA for the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. We also summarize the published pre-clinical and clinical studies regarding this new technology.
Ezzeddine et al. (Sun,) conducted a review in Atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) was evaluated. Pulsed field ablation is a novel non-thermal energy modality for the management of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias that limits collateral damage to surrounding structures.
