Why the study?
Does pulsed field ablation compared to thermal ablation affect the incidence of cerebral events in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Does pulsed field ablation compared to thermal ablation affect the incidence of cerebral events in patients with atrial fibrillation?
Pulsed field ablation and thermal ablation for atrial fibrillation both demonstrate a low incidence of silent cerebral events.
Both ablation modalities appear safe regarding silent cerebral events; extends RCT evidence on neurological outcomes in AF ablation.
The ADVENT trial provides the first prospective, randomized data on the cerebral impact of PFA and thermal ablation of AF. Incidence of SCE/SCL after ablation in the NAS was low.
