Does pulsed field ablation prevent pulmonary vein narrowing/stenosis compared to radiofrequency ablation in patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation?

Population

Patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation

Intervention

Pulsed field ablation (PFA)

Comparator

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Outcome

Incidence and severity of pulmonary vein (PV) narrowing/stenosissafety

Pulsed field ablation virtually eliminates the risk of pulmonary vein stenosis compared to traditional radiofrequency ablation.
