Does pulsed field ablation prevent oesophageal injury in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation?
Pulsed field ablation appears to spare the oesophagus from injury during pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation, potentially improving procedural safety.
PFA does not induce any signs of oesophageal injury on CMR after PVI. Due to its tissue selectivity, PFA may improve safety for catheter ablation of AF.
