Does pulsed field ablation safely achieve electrical isolation of persistent left superior vena cava in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Pulsed field ablation successfully achieved electrical isolation of persistent left superior vena cava without procedural complications in two patients with atrial fibrillation.
Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) is a known arrhythmogenesis site in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the optimal PLSVC isolation approach has remained unclear because of the potential risk of complications. The current study reports 2 cases of successful electrical PLSVC isolation using pulsed field ablation. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
Tohoku et al. (Tue,) conducted a case report in Atrial fibrillation with persistent left superior vena cava (n=2). Pulsed field ablation (PFA) was evaluated on Successful electrical isolation of persistent left superior vena cava. Pulsed field ablation successfully achieved electrical isolation of the persistent left superior vena cava in two patients with atrial fibrillation without procedure-related complications.
