Is pulsed field ablation safe and feasible as a routine treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation?
Initial real-world experience suggests pulsed field ablation is a safe and feasible routine treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, though care must be taken to avoid unintentional tissue ablation.
PVI using PFA for PAF in a 'real-world' setting appears to be safe and feasible in this small patient cohort. Procedure times are homogeneous, and LA dwell time is short. Atrial ablation lines can easily be created. Unintentional ablation of atrial tissue can occur, accurate catheter alignment to the PV ostium and axis should be ensured.
Füting et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
